A single season is noisy, so read the full history below before you judge the unit. Success rate reflects how many hunters filled a tag, not how hard the tag was to draw. Pair this with the Idaho elk draw odds to see both how hard the tag is to get and how good the hunting is once you have it. Figures come from official Idaho wildlife-agency harvest records.
