Utah Elk EB3087
Limited-entry Bull Elk - La Sal Mtns in La Sal Mtns, muzzleloader only, Sep 21 – Oct 2, 2026. 93% public land, mostly BLM.
New for 2026
The 2026 draw is the first on record for EB3087: Utah Division of Wildlife Resources did not offer this hunt code in earlier years, so the year-by-year table has one row and there is no point-creep trend to project yet. The odds shown are that one draw's actual results, not an estimate.

Monte Carlo over published bonus-point pools. A dash means Utah Division of Wildlife Resources did not publish a count for that level. Utah runs a second, random pass after the points pass. As a lower choice, EB3087 drew no one in 2026, so lower-choice odds are left out.

About These Numbers
Odds are from the 2026 draw, the latest on file, computed from Utah Division of Wildlife Resources' published results (monte Carlo over published bonus-point pools). 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.
