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 2023; a year's total is the sum of published weapon rows, added only where the lines do not overlap. Nevada Department of Wildlife reports this unit inside the group 101, 102, so the figures cover the whole group, not Unit 102 alone. Source: NDOW 2023 Elk Harvest by Unit Group.

About These Numbers

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.
