Questions

Where do the numbers come from?

The Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources publishes the moose tag allocation results under the Open Government Licence – Ontario: every tag type, stage, choice and points level, with applicants and tags awarded. We turn those 79,924 rows into odds by points level and add the six-year trend. Source dataset.

MNRF already prints the minimum points. Why pay?

The minimum tells you the lowest points that drew, not your chance at that number. At the minimum, the share that drew ranged from 6% to 100% in the same WMU. The report shows the share at every points level, the trend, and where tags were left for 2nd and 3rd choices, for every tag in one place.

Is this official? Can you guarantee a tag?

No. Draw Odds is independent and not affiliated with the Government of Ontario. Past results don't guarantee future draws: quotas and rules change (they do in 2027). For the rules themselves, read the official process page and the Hunting Regulations Summary.

I live in Northern Ontario. Do my points differ?

MNRF's results count the Northern Ontario preference point in WMUs 1–42. Tick the box in the checker and we add it for those units.

Can my party apply together?

No. All hunters apply as individuals; there are no group applications (ontario.ca). The 3-choice plan covers party strategy (who applies for which tag and who builds points).

Refunds?

Pre-orders and plans are refundable any time until delivery; just reply to your receipt. See terms.
