Across Utah's 16 bison units with published draw data, odds range widely. The most sought-after limited-entry units can take years of preference points to pull, while others draw closer to every year. That split is the heart of a Utah bison strategy: bank points for a low-odds trophy tag, or hunt a high-odds unit this season.
Draw odds are the ratio of tags available to applicants, so a low number means heavy competition, not a bad hunt. Read them next to the applicants and points required before you commit. Every figure below comes from official Utah wildlife-agency draw results; the table sorts hardest-draw first.
