Washington Elk 2299
Alkali B — Antlerless Elk Hunt, Antlerless (Eastern Firearm) in GMU 371 — Alkali, rifle only, Oct 10–20, 2026. 98% public land, mostly Department of Defense.
New for 2026
The 2026 draw is the first on record for 2299: 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, 2299 drew no one in 2026, so lower-choice odds are left out.

Across every license type in GMU 371, Washington Department of Fish & Wildlife counted 0 elk 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.
