Important Notes on Statistics 1. Suspect Success Rates on Hunts with < 10 Tags | Arizona's harvest survey response rates average in the mid-30% range and can be lower. The more tags in a unit, the more reliable the harvest success data. But we’ve seen hunts with 5 tags and 1 reply. We report the State’s figure, but you should be wary of success #s when tags are less than 10.
2. 2018 Harvest Data Unusable | Response rates were so bad in 2018 that even the State considered them unusable and did not report them.
3. For bighorn sheep and bison, nonresidents are not eligible to draw a hunt that has only one total available permit.
4. For deer and pronghorn, hunts that have only one total permit are not available in the bonus point round and must be drawn in a random draw round.
5. Arizona has a 10% nonresident allocation cap for most species.
