Elk LEH odds must be evaluated by the exact opportunity rather than by species alone. Hunt codes can represent different areas, seasons and classes of animal with very different historical draw outcomes.
How should I compare elk draws?
Start with the exact hunt code, then compare multiple years rather than one percentage. A one-year spike or drop can be misleading if demand or authorizations changed.
Do draw odds tell me which hunt is best?
No. Draw probability is only one factor. Access, season dates, terrain, travel and the type of elk opportunity also matter.
