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.

Odds by Point Level · 2024 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, ELK-ARC-B drew no one in 2024, so lower-choice odds are left out.

About These Numbers
Odds are from the 2024 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.
