What the Agency Says About the Area
"679" series ("Harney Basin Agri"/"Harney Basin Youth") -- a multi-unit agricultural-damage/youth antlerless hunt, not a single WMU. ODFW's own 2025 antlerless-deer harvest report lists its harvest under WMU 69 Steens Mtn, 71 Juniper and 72 Silvies, not under any standalone "79" boundary -- confirmed in harvest_deer_2025.csv (license_type='679A Harney Basin Agri'/'679T Harney Basin Youth', unit_code in {69,71,72}).

About These Numbers
Odds are from the 2025 draw, the latest on file, computed from Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife's published results. 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.
