Your chance of drawing here

Washington Department of Fish & Wildlife has not offered an elk license in GMU 667 in any draw we hold. It has a page because the agency still publishes harvest for it — the Washington elk hunts that are on offer are drawn elsewhere.

How the hunting has gone

What Washington Department of Fish & Wildlife publishes for this area after each season — harvest statistics for everyone who hunted it, not draw odds and not a forecast. 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.
