D-M-061-O4-R needs 11 pts

Numbers are the last draw's drawn-out-at points for the chosen residency: the points held by the last applicant who drew. Leftover available lists codes that had licenses left after the draw, whatever your points; other codes with no drawn-out-at value for that residency are left out. Point creep can move a code up a bucket.

Drawn-out-at = preference points held by the last successful applicant at that residency. "0 (2nd)" = the code filled with 2nd-choice applicants, so any 1st-choice applicant drew with 0 points. Success % and days/harvest are from CPW's 2025 harvest survey, by hunt code.
