How It Hunted, 2025

| All of Unit 61 | 1 | 1 | — |
Adding up Idaho Department of Fish and Game's published lines for Unit 61 gives 1 hunter and 1 mountain goat taken in 2025 (sum of published weapon rows). 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.

Idaho reassigns hunt numbers between years. In these years 6020 stood for another unit or weapon, so they are listed here rather than counted as this hunt's history or in its point-creep trend.

About These Numbers
Odds are from the 2024 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.
