Your chance of drawing here

Alaska Department of Fish and Game has not offered a musk ox license in Unit 22E in any draw we hold. It has a page because the agency still publishes harvest for it — the Alaska musk ox 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.
