Your chance of drawing here
Arizona Game & Fish Department has not offered a deer license in Unit 16B in any draw we hold. It has a page because the agency still publishes harvest for it — the Arizona deer hunts that are on offer are drawn elsewhere.

How the hunting has gone
What Arizona Game & Fish Department publishes for this area after each season — harvest statistics for everyone who hunted it, not draw odds and not a forecast. Arizona Game & Fish Department publishes these per hunt rather than per unit; the rows below add its own figures together, since a hunter holds one tag for the species in a season. Arizona's figures come from AZGFD's post-season hunter questionnaire - survey estimates carrying a 90% confidence interval and a return count, not a census of animals checked in.
| Season | Hunters | Harvest | Success |
