Unit 032, 034 (Bilk Creek / Pueblo Mountains)
Nevada Hunting Guide — Antelope
Units 032 and 034 cover the Bilk Creek Mountains, Pueblo Mountains foothills, and Denio-area sagebrush basins in far-northern Humboldt County along the Oregon border. This is one of Nevada's strongest pronghorn hunt groups, with NDOW issuing roughly 45 tags per year across the two-unit cluster. The country is nearly all BLM — wide-open sage flats at 4,400–5,500 ft bordered by the Pueblo Mountains to the west and the Oregon state line to the north.

Where to Find Pronghorn in Units 032 and 034
Units 032 and 034 sit on the Oregon border in Nevada's far-northwest corner. The terrain is classic pronghorn habitat — broad sagebrush-steppe basins with isolated ridges rising to 7,000-ft peaks on the western edge.
Denio / Virgin Valley Flats
The sage flats south and east of Denio, toward Virgin Valley and the Sheldon NWR boundary, hold strong summer and early-fall populations. Work the dirt-road grid between SR-140 and the Oregon line, glassing 1–3 miles out on every pullout.
Bilk Creek Foothills
The foothills of the Bilk Creek Mountains (south edge of Unit 032) are a consistent morning-and-evening zone for mature bucks. Glass the benches between the valley floor and the steeper rock.
Pueblo Mountains Bajadas
The eastern slope of the Pueblo Mountains drops into Unit 034 with a series of bajadas and alluvial fans. These benches hold pronghorn any time the sagebrush is green, and mature bucks often bed in the rolling folds where glassing from a vehicle fails to find them.

Open in Draw Odds EngineThe 032/034 cluster is drawn as a single pronghorn hunt group. Nevada uses a weighted bonus-point draw — accumulated bonus points give applicants extra entries in the random draw, with each point earning one additional entry.
Three-year totals: 934 applicants / 134 tags ~ 14.3% overall success. Resident odds are materially higher than nonresident because the nonresident quota is capped.
