Washington Deer 1734
Skokomish — Deer Hunters with Disabilities, Antlerless (Modern Firearm) in GMU 636 — Skokomish, rifle only, Oct 17 – Nov 1, 2026. 56% public land, mostly National Forest.
New for 2026
The 2026 draw is the first on record for 1734: Washington Department of Fish & Wildlife 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.

Odds by Point Level · 2026 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. Washington Department of Fish & Wildlife publishes no per-level counts for this hunt; each point adds entries (points², counting the application you buy now), so the pool average is a floor for anyone holding points and an overstatement for a first-year applicant. As a lower choice, 1734 drew no one in 2026, so lower-choice odds are left out.

Across every license type in GMU 636, Washington Department of Fish & Wildlife counted 195 deer taken in 2025 (hunter counts not published). The first rows are hunters holding this license type; the rest of the area's hunters held something else. Washington's figures come from mandatory hunter reports. WDFW credits a multi-GMU special-permit hunt's harvest to every GMU it spans rather than splitting it, so unit totals add up to more than the statewide total.

About These Numbers
Odds are from the 2026 draw, the latest on file, computed from Washington Department of Fish & Wildlife'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. How we compute these.
