I called ADFG about a month ago and asked about the Central Arctic Herd survey and it was performed. They couldn’t tell me a release date for the results, just said it takes along time to go through all the pictures.

Depends on the Herd you're curious about. The Western Arctic Herd and Central Arctic were surveyed in 2025 but photo census has to be sent out to a third party observer to verify the counts. Expect Feb/March at the earliest IMO.
