Key Pittman Wildlife Management Area (KPWMA) is located in the north end of the Pahranagat Valley between the Pahranagat Range to the west and the Hiko Range to the east. The WMA is approximately 135 miles south of Ely and 110 miles north of Las Vegas on Highway 318. The Nevada Department of Wildlife (NDOW) currently manages 1,337 acres including Nesbitt and Frenchy Lakes and appropriated water rights totaling approximately 632 acre feet annually from Hiko Springs managed by the Hiko Ditch Company and 580 acre feet annually from Crystal Springs. During the waterfowl season, hunting is permitted on the opening weekend of the duck season, odd-numbered days throughout the season, opening day of the goose season, and the closing two days of the waterfowl season. The maximum hunter capacity during the opening day of duck season and the opening day of goose season will be 55 at any time. All hunters will check-in and out at the main entrance and will park in designated parking areas only. No vehicles are allowed on the area during the hunting season. The area is closed to fishing during the waterfowl season. Trapping is allowed with valid permit. Permits will be issued through a drawing process and may contain designation of specific trapping areas, dates or other restrictions to ensure compatibility with other public activities. The use or possession of shells for a shotgun containing shot that is toxic or larger than standard-sized T is prohibited. The use of shotguns capable of holding more than three shells is prohibited unless it is plugged with a one piece filler, incapable of removal without disassembling the gun so its total capacity does not exceed three shells.
