AZGFD survey estimates. Draw-hunt results are published per hunt number (grouped or split unit geographies) and appear on the draw-odds tables; the over-the-counter archery deer questionnaire is Arizona's only per-unit harvest publication, so unit pages show OTC archery deer only. Deer counts combine mule deer and white-tailed; "antlerless" is recorded as female. Source: AZGFD Harvest Questionnaire Summaries (per species-year).

How these numbers are made

public_land_pct = public_area / unit_area
landlocked = public ∖ reachable(roads, corners)
remote = public ∖ buffer(roads, 1 mi)

Computed, not curated: no paid research team, no opinions dressed as data. If a number looks wrong, file an issue — the fix ships for everyone.
