Licenses
Idaho Department of Fish and Game has not offered an elk license in Unit 5-1X in any draw we hold. It has a page because the agency still publishes it by name; the Idaho elk hunts that are on offer are drawn elsewhere.

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.
