How It Hunted, 2025
| Who | Hunters | Harvest | Success |
|---|---|---|---|
| All of Unit 16B | 615 | 163 | 26% |
Across every license type in Unit 16B, Alaska Department of Fish and Game counted 615 hunters and 163 moose taken in 2025, and 26% of them took a moose. 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
Odds are from the 2023 draw, the latest on file, computed from Alaska Department of Fish and Game's published results (tags ÷ applicants). 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.
