Your chance of drawing here

Alaska Department of Fish and Game has not offered a moose license in Unit 17C in any draw we hold. It has a page because the agency still publishes harvest for it — the Alaska moose hunts that are on offer are drawn elsewhere.

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.
