What Nevada Department of Wildlife publishes after each season, for everyone who hunted the area: harvest statistics, not draw odds. Nevada Department of Wildlife publishes no whole-unit line for 2021; a year's total is the sum of published hunt rows, added only where the lines do not overlap. Nevada Department of Wildlife reports this unit inside the group 132, 221, so the figures cover the whole group, not Unit 221 alone. Source: NDOW 2021 Mule Deer Harvest by Unit Group.

About These Numbers

Odds are from the 2025 draw, the latest on file, computed from Nevada Department of Wildlife's published results. They are what happened in that draw, not a forecast. Under five tags a percentage carries a *, because one applicant either way swings it. A dash means the agency did not publish the number, and a date marked expected is last cycle's schedule rolled forward. How we compute these.
