Across every license type in Unit 22, Idaho Department of Fish and Game counted 1,754 hunters and 425 deer taken in 2025, and 24% of them took a deer. The first rows are hunters holding this license type; the rest of the area's hunters held something else. Idaho's figures are counts from mandatory hunter reports and check stations rather than survey estimates, so they behave differently from the survey states.

About These Numbers

Odds are from the 2026 draw, the latest on file, computed from Idaho Department of Fish and Game's published results (first-choice tags drawn ÷ first-choice applicants, as published). 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.
