My site trophyunit.com is a free, open (no sign up required) web database that lists hunts in a table with draw odds and harvest statistics from past years. I built it last year because of a couple of earlier bad experiences in which I put down draw choices that I couldn't realistically get, just because I didn't check the odds or one time, plain misunderstood them. It's a real bummer to waste a year and once I started asking, it turned out a friend and a neighbor had made similar mistakes.
I just finished updating it for 2015, and you can visit the tables here:

The columns in the tables are sortable. I need to hunt fairly close to home, so I like to sort by the "Distance in miles" column. The default origin is SLC airport, which works for me, but if you want to customize it for your own home, just sign up for a free account and click the little 'Change' button to set it to a different town or address. With an account you can also click a star icon in the rightmost column to save hunts that interest you to a 'My Starred' list. This is all private of course.
Before the draw deadline I hope to roll out a few new features, including a color-coded map. I did a prototype map for the Wyoming doe/fawn antelope units that helped me see that yep, sure enough, the softer units are a long drive from Utah. The other thing that is badly needed is the ability to filter the table rows by some of the attributes, for example to show only the public land hunts and hide the CWMU hunts. If you have any feature ideas, please comment here or send me a pm. If you want to get an email when I add features or new hunt data, you can sign up for the mailing list.
Also, please keep in mind that while I have tried really hard not to make any mistakes with this data, and the data should be reliable, you should definitely double-check everything against the official publications before finalizing your application. (I provide links to the official DNR pages in the table to try to make this easier.) See the site terms for the complete legal disclaimer.
