Your chance of drawing here
Alaska Department of Fish and Game has not offered a caribou license in Unit 18 in any draw we hold. It has a page because the agency still publishes harvest for it — the Alaska caribou hunts that are on offer are drawn elsewhere.
The country
Boundaries are drawn for orientation only — the written boundary description in the regulations governs.
How the hunting has gone
What Alaska Department of Fish and Game publishes for this area after each season — harvest statistics for everyone who hunted it, not draw odds and not a forecast. Alaska's figures come from mandatory harvest reports and sealing certificates rather than a hunter survey, so they are counts of animals reported, not estimates.
