Find Your Next Hunt

Intuitive Filtering and Sorting

Set your points and residency profile, then use filters and sorts to cut thousands of options down to the hunts that match your goals. Explore tag opportunities across states, species, and seasons in a table or on the map, and slice the data by what matters most—tag quotas, harvest rates, public land access, hunter density, dates, species sex, youth or veteran eligibility, draw odds, and more—to surface your best options fast.

Hunt Research saves you hours of rifling through PDFs and reveals hunts you never knew existed.

Know Your Draw Odds

Dream Big or Lock It In

Most hunters miss out because they don’t know where their odds are the strongest. Hunt Research Tools simplifies all that by showing your personalized draw odds, based on your points and residency, for any combination of available species, states, and methods of take. 

And, multi-state and multi-species search means you can compare all your options, side-by-side.

Build the Season You Want

Compare Specific Units

You’re not just applying for a tag; you’re building an experience. What kind of hunt do you want? From challenging new terrain to high-success meat hunts, Hunt Research Tools helps you compare your options.

Take deep dives into any unit to zero in on the areas that fit the bill. Understand the minimum number of points required to draw tags in any unit. And, once you’ve found a few units that appeal to you, pop open the map to analyze road density, access details, timber cuts, burn areas, and terrain profiles to design your season around the type of hunting you like to do.

Upcoming Draw Deadlines

Application season moves fast. Use Hunt Research Tools to find the hunts that fit your points before these deadlines close.

“Antelope hunting is pure magic—crisp fall days, endless glassing, and perfect for introducing kids to the thrill of the chase. My son and I both drew tags in his first year applying, and we brought his 5-year-old brother along for the full family adventure.

After a heart-pounding 2-mile stalk, I watched him drop a gorgeous buck, then tagged my own that afternoon—capping a day we’ll relive around every campfire.
