Alaska brown bear draw odds & harvest stats

Most brown bear draw hunts are on Kodiak and Afognak. They come in two series: the DB200 hunts for residents and for nonresidents hunting with a resident relative, and the DB100 hunts for guided nonresidents. Many of the guided hunts sit partly or mostly inside exclusive guide areas, and several of those show very high draw rates.

Where these numbers come from

How to read the odds

  • % drawn is the share of applications that won a permit, as ADF&G printed it. "<1%" means less than one in a hundred.
  • Apps per permit is our math: applications divided by permits. 250 means roughly one permit for every 250 applications.
  • Party applications, multiple applications for the same hunt, and permits that change after the draw all shift the real odds a little, so treat these numbers as a guide.
  • ADF&G labels each table by drawing year. The "2025 drawing" results were printed in the 2026–27 supplement. Results from the drawing held in early 2026 will show up when ADF&G publishes the 2027–28 supplement, and we'll add them then.
  • Nonresidents need a guide or a qualifying resident relative for brown bear, Dall sheep, and mountain goat. Some hunts are guided-only or nonguided-only, so read the hunt page.

Chugach Cache isn't affiliated with ADF&G. We copied the numbers from ADF&G's tables and wrote the descriptions ourselves. If a number looks off, ADF&G's supplement and hunt pages are the official source. Hunts and seasons can change by emergency order.
