Washington Elk 2437
Peninsula — Youth Elk Hunt, Antlerless (Western Archery) in GMUs 602, 607 and 612, archery only, Sep 12–24, 2026.
New for 2026
The 2026 draw is the first on record for 2437: 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 · 2025 Draw
| Points | Chance | Applied | Drew |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0–10 ← you | 67% (small sample) pool average: a floor with points | — | — |
Unweighted tags ÷ applicants — state did not publish pools. 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, 2437 drew no one in 2025, so lower-choice odds are left out.

Earlier Years, When This Number Was a Different Hunt
Washington reassigns hunt numbers between years. In these years 2437 stood for another GMU or weapon, so they are listed here rather than counted as this hunt's history or in its point-creep trend.

About These Numbers
Odds are from the 2025 draw, the latest on file, computed from Washington Department of Fish & Wildlife's published results (unweighted tags ÷ applicants — state did not publish 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.
