Nonresident share
Nonresident allocation in CPW's 2026 Draw Recap: 25% of this hunt's licenses. CPW's rules change in 2028, and we don't say how this share changes. What does this mean? (the nonresident allocation)
Next-year estimate
2027 estimate: about 3 points, low confidence.
In the 2025 and 2026 draws, nonresident cutoffs came in above our estimate about 1 in 4 times, usually by one point. What does this mean? (the next-year estimate)
