How the hunting has gone
What Nevada Department of Wildlife publishes for this area after each season — harvest statistics for everyone who hunted it, not draw odds and not a forecast. Nevada Department of Wildlife 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.

|---|---|---|---|
| 2025 | 4 | 3 | 75% |
| 2024 | 5 | 5 | 100% |
