The numbers are the ratio of tags to people. If it says that the draw odds are 1 in 2.0 that means that 1 out of every 2 people drew a tag. When you see the 1 in 1.4 it's about the same as saying that 2 out of three people drew a tag. If you see a hunt that has 1 in 1.o that means that everybody that put in got a tag. The state like to break it down to the 1 in something so that you get the same comparison on all of the draw tables.

Here is the link to where I got all of this information.

http://wildlife.utah.gov/hunting/biggame/pdf/10_bg_bonus_point_draw_results.pdf

These tables will show you not only how many people put in for each hunt but it also shows you how many bonus points that everybody had also.

Hope that this make sence and feel free to ask any questions thatcome up and I will do my best to explain.

Oh man.... me and the wife were up diamond mtn. Fishing we decided to head back to the house about 630. We seen more bucks than you could immagine. There were quite a few bulls. Mostly satelites. No real monsters. But this is a good place. And looks like you would have a 50/50 chance of draw. Good luck

I was surprised to see this also but it is for the Limited Entry Archery season on that unit.

In 09 for this hunt it was 1 in 2.5 with a total of 39 tags for the archery hunt.
In 08 for this hunt it was 1 in 4.6 with a total of 32 tags for the archery hunt.
In 07 for this hunt it was 1 in 7.2 with a total of 29 tags for the archery hunt.

It just goes to show how much the odds of drawing can change from year to year.

According to the numbers from last year my friend that drew the muzzy Henrys tag should have been in the top 50% to guarantee him a tag. But a bunch of people with the same amount of points put in for that hunt and he still had to get lucky to pull his tag. So while the draw tables help some there is no guarantee that it will work out the way you want it to.

I might have to start scouting the Dutton for elk those are better odds that getting an archery Pahvant tag. :-k

Now that I think about it having these general season spike hunts on all of these limited entry units might be why the draw odds have gotten so much better.

Just a thought.
