Licenses
Alaska Department of Fish and Game has not offered a caribou license in Unit 26A 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.

What Alaska Department of Fish and Game publishes after each season, for everyone who hunted the area: harvest statistics, not draw odds. 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.

About These Numbers
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.
