2025 harvest results by hunt code

The unit designator is not proof that all harvest occurred here or that every part of this GMU is valid for a license. Codes may include other units or restricted areas. We retain individual results instead of inventing a single unit-wide rate from overlapping licenses.

Historical success describes prior reported results, not the chance that you will harvest. Open a code for its source report and rate basis.

Older report context

Older reports often combine hunt codes, sexes or seasons. These rows retain their published scope and are not exact-code success rates. Missing values appear as a dash.
