Attached is an Excel file with the 2023 elk harvest results. I find these helpful to evaluate permit opportunities by comparing odds of drawing (permits divided by applicants) and harvest results between various hunts in a category.

These stats may be close BUT, there are a lot of hunters that bite the $10 and do not report.

I would assume half of people don’t report at least. But thats an assumption.

Looking at the spread sheets ballpark just under 20% don’t report on their special permit success so over 80% are reporting
Pain is temporary, achieving the goal is worth it.

I didn't say it would be easy, I said it would be worth it.

Total Applicants   Permits Issued   Reports Returned   Hunters   Hunter Success   Antlerless Harvest   Antlered Harvest   Total Harvest   
   406               10                          6                    5                   60%              3                          0                           3   


So reading this report, Does this mean that 1 hunter did not hunt? 6 returned but only 5 hunters?? BTW 6 of 10 reports is not good for the future of permits being issued.

I added a poll.    No need to explain and it’s  anonymous. There was a question on percentages …..

Interesting just how many quality tags go unfilled. Granted the numbers of tags are less. No one is taking any mule deer in the northeast units except a single buck in the Pend Oreille unit. It used to be advertised that the Northeast corner was a premier whitetail hunt during the late season. But everyone is still running to the sales counter to support the wdfw.

I always figured guys successful on quality tags are more likely to report. There’s always those guys who draw tags and never step foot in the unit. I know a guy who drew a Montana governors bison tag last year and didn’t even bother hunting.
