| Type 6 | 9 | 8 | 89% |
| All of Hunt Area 75 | 17 | 13 | 77% |
Across every license type in Hunt Area 75, Wyoming Game and Fish Department counted 17 hunters and 13 elk taken in 2025, and 77% of them took an elk. The first rows are hunters holding this license type; the rest of the area's hunters held something else. Wyoming's figures are estimates from a voluntary post-season survey of license holders, extrapolated to every license issued — not a count of animals checked in.

About These Numbers
Odds are from the 2026 draw, the latest on file, computed from Wyoming Game and Fish Department's published results (tags ÷ applicants). 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.
