E-E-201-O1-A
Either-sex elk · Archery · Unit 201 · Sept. 2–30 · List A
In the 2026 draw, 605 hunters put E-E-201-O1-A as their 1st choice for 10 licenses. Residents needed 27 points (50% of applicants at 27 drew); Nonresidents needed 34 points (50% of applicants at 34 drew).
Point creep is real here: residents needed 25 points in 2022 and 27 in 2026. Expect it to take more next year.
It is a hybrid-draw hunt: 1 license was drawn at random by residents with 5 or more points who listed it 1st — and they lose all their points.

“2nd choice” means every 1st-choice applicant drew and licenses went on to later choices. “Leftover” means licenses remained after the primary draw. The secondary draw (June) also re-offers unpaid and returned licenses; “unsold” ones went to the leftover sale in August. Secondary-draw data starts in 2021. A percentage is the share of applicants at the cutoff level who drew.
