Idaho Elk — Unit 54

Idaho Elk Unit 54 draw odds, tags, and applicants by year — resident and nonresident pools shown separately. Idaho's report publishes no point thresholds.

No point thresholds in this report. The Idaho release these tables come from lists applicants and tags only. Every "Pts Req." cell below reads as not published, not as zero points needed — and each table covers one residency pool, so read the heading before you read the number.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the current draw odds for Idaho Elk Unit 54?
The most recent published odds are 1% for resident applicants in 2025 — 2,355 applicants for 18 tags on the Controlled 1st Drawing either sex hunt. The nonresident pool for that same hunt drew at 0% (2 tags, 657 applicants). Idaho publishes applicants and tags but no point threshold with these numbers, so this is the odds for the whole pool — not what a given point total would draw.
How many preference/bonus points do I need for Idaho Elk Unit 54?
We won't guess. The Idaho report behind these tables gives applicants, tags, and the odds that fall out of them — it carries no point thresholds, so nothing here can tell you what your points would draw. Points still matter when you apply; check the agency's own preference-point report for the cutoff, and read the resident and nonresident rows below separately.
Is the competition increasing for Idaho Elk Unit 54?
Competition in the resident pool for the Controlled 1st Drawing either sex hunt looks increasing. Odds ran 5% in 2023 and 1% in 2025. The other pool can move the other way, so check both tables.
