Key Pittman Wildlife Management Area Hunting 2026: Species & Access
Key Pittman Wildlife Management Area covers 1,332 acres near Alamo in Lincoln County. Built around Nesbitt and Frenchy Lakes in southeastern Nevada — home to more than two dozen duck species and a seasonal stopover for tundra and trumpeter swans.
01 — What you can hunt here
| Species | Notes |
|---|---|
| Waterfowl | Over 24 duck species use the two lakes, plus seasonal tundra and trumpeter swans. |
| Small game | Open for any species with an established Nevada small game season. |
02 — Access rules specific to this WMA
- Rifles and pistols may not be discharged anywhere on Key Pittman WMA — shotgun-only, a site-specific rule not found on every Nevada WMA.
- Like Overton, Key Pittman runs its own hunt-reservation application process rather than plain open access.
04 — Facilities
Camping: Camping available on-site. No shooting range on-site.
Sits along NV-318 near Alamo, adjacent to Crystal Springs.
05 — Where to go next
Key Pittman is a small but genuinely diverse waterfowl stop in a part of Nevada that's otherwise desert — two managed lakes hold more than two dozen duck species plus wintering swans. The rifle-and-pistol discharge ban is the one rule here that catches out-of-state hunters off guard: everything on this WMA is a shotgun-only hunt, regardless of species.
