Points Needed to Draw
One draw on file (2025), so there is no trend to chart yet.
Bonus points (linear) — no cut to track: each point adds entries to the draw rather than a place in line.
One per lifetime: draw this tag and you cannot apply for elk here again.
What It Costs · 2025 Resident Fees
The $11.97 Elk license application (per season drawing; up to 3 = $35.91) is not refunded. Drawing adds the $20.97 resident adult general hunting license (needed only if drawn, to buy the elk license). Drawing adds the $25 resident elk license (paid only if drawn).

Odds by Point Level · 2025 Draw
| Points | Chance | Applied | Drew |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0–10 ← you | — pool average: a floor with points | — | — |
The agency did not publish enough counts to compute this level. Pennsylvania Game Commission publishes no per-level counts for this hunt; each point adds entries (points + 1), so the pool average is a floor for anyone holding points and an overstatement for a first-year applicant. As a lower choice, EHZ04-GEN-C drew no one in 2025, so lower-choice odds are left out.

About These Numbers
Odds are from the 2025 draw, the latest on file, computed from Pennsylvania Game Commission's published results (the agency did not publish enough counts to compute this level). 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.
