I heard as of April 3rd there was 27,000 applications already, so I would guess that in the 6 days after that there would have been quite a few more apply, since most of us tend to wait till the last minute. So I could see the number being up around 40,000 or so,(just a WAG)and with that odds would be about 1 in 20, which isn't bad, but not good either. I put in for both deer and elk, but I'm hoping I don't draw either one, as I don't have the money this year. Next year I do hope to draw at least one of them.
