New for 2025
The 2025 draw is the first on record for DB685: Alaska Department of Fish and Game did not offer this hunt code in earlier years, so the year-by-year table has one row. The odds shown are that one draw's actual results, not an estimate.

14 first-choice applicants for 30 tags
14 first-choice applicants for 30 tags in 2025, so every first-choice applicant drew and 16 tags went to the leftover draw. The 100% reflects low demand that year, and a code like this can flip the year demand catches up.

Earlier Years, When This Number Was a Different Hunt
Alaska reassigns hunt numbers between years. In these years DB685 stood for another unit or weapon, so they are listed here rather than counted as this hunt's history or in its point-creep trend.

About These Numbers
Odds are from the 2025 draw, the latest on file, computed from Alaska Department of Fish and Game's published results (fewer applicants than tags). They are what happened in that draw, not a forecast. Under five tags a percentage carries a *, because one applicant either way swings it. A dash means the agency did not publish the number, and a date marked expected is last cycle's schedule rolled forward. How we compute these.
