Arizona Antelope (Pronghorn) — 3BS
Arizona 3BS covers 370,547 acres and lies 11 miles north-east of Show Low and 42 miles south-east of Holbrook. 45% of it is public land, mostly national forest (28%) and state trust land (16%). In 2021, 7 people hunted pronghorn here and took 5 — 71% of them killed something.
Your chance of drawing here
Arizona Game & Fish Department has not offered a pronghorn license in 3BS in any draw we hold. It has a page because the agency still publishes harvest for it — the Arizona pronghorn hunts that are on offer are drawn elsewhere.

Boundaries are drawn for orientation only — the written boundary description in the regulations governs.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2021 | 7 | 5 | 71% |
| 2020 | 6 | 2 | 33% |
| 2019 | 12 | 6 | 50% |
| 2018 | 5 | 0 | 0% |
| 2017 | 10 | 4 | 40% |

What the agency says about the area
AZGFD publishes no separate boundary for this hunt unit: the map, acreage and land ownership shown are for the whole of Unit 3B, of which this unit is a part. AZGFD's current regulations booklets define only the northern half of Unit 3B: "3B North Hunt Unit - That portion of Unit 3B located north of U.S. Hwy 60." No printed definition of a 3B South hunt unit was found in any document fetched.
