Wyoming Mule Deer Draw FAQ

How many preference points do I need to draw a Wyoming mule deer tag?

It depends on the unit. Some of the best opportunities, like Units 11, 12, 124, 127, and 13, drew nonresident hunters with zero points in 2024—meaning first-time applicants competed equally with veterans. Other units will require points; the more popular the hunt, the higher the point threshold climbs.

When do Wyoming mule deer applications open and close?

For 2026, the application window opens January 2 and closes June 1. Results are posted June 18. Both residents and nonresidents apply during the same window.

How much does a Wyoming mule deer tag cost for nonresidents?

A regular nonresident tag fee is $374, plus a $15 application fee. If you draw a special draw tag, the fee is $1200 plus $15 for the app. Antlerless tags are $34 plus the $15 app fee.

What are my odds of drawing a Wyoming mule deer tag as a nonresident?

Nonresidents receive 16% of available tags statewide. Draw odds vary significantly by unit based on competition and tag availability. Units like 11, 12, 124, 127, and 13 had nonresidents draw at 100.0% odds with zero points in 2024, though harvest success rates varied from 15% to 75.6% depending on the unit.
