Analysis of 2023 Licence Draw by Area Choice

The tables below identify the lowest pool that Either Sex (ES) or Male Only (MO) licences were awarded in the 2023 resident big game licence draw and can be used as guide in selecting your area(s) for the 2024 draw. As an example, if you are in Pool 6, you should only consider the area(s) that licences were awarded in Pool 6 Individual (I) or Pool 6 Party (P) in last year’s draw. You may also consider listing an area(s) that have gone to Pool 7 to 9 to further increase your chances but remember to only apply for areas where you are prepared to hunt. Please note that the 2023 results are for reference purposes only and do not necessarily guarantee your chances of receiving a licence in the 2024 draw.
