Nevada hunting?
« on: January 08, 2014, 12:24:34 PM »
Does anyone have any experience hunting Mule deer in Nevada. I've been looking for out of state options and I was thinking Nevada could be a good bet especially with the season they have?

I've hunted NV the last two years once for antelope and once for deer.  It took me 6pts to draw the antelope tag and 7pts to draw the deer tag.  It is expensive to apply in NV and it could take a lot of years before you get a tag.  If you want to hunt deer I would look at MT and WY, or maybe even ID.

Which units or area did you hunt if you don't mind me asking. I was looking east of Elko, according to the regs its almost a sure draw. units 101-109 I believe

I hunted north of Elko for antelope and the NW corner for deer. 
The problem with the regs is NV only shows the odds for your first choice and doesn't include choices 2-5 in the odds so odds are much lower than what they show.

They do give a lot of tags out for 101-108.  I'm not sure what the draw is like for rifle, but archery had leftover tags the last few years.  We hunted down there this last summer and had a good time.  Plan on going back.

I've got 11 points for deer, antelope and desert sheep, 10 for elk and California sheep and have yet to draw a tag if that tells you anything about the drawing odds. I have been going with pretty long odds though.

NV has the best and fairest draw system in the west...U can draw a great tag your first year. I have a buddy who has drawn a awesome archery deer tag 2 years in a row.

Isn't Nevadas draw system the same as WA's except they have designated non res tags?

Pretty much the same.

You don't want to hunt Nevada if you like beautiful country, big deer, and a fun hunt.

Or if you think $1,200 is exhorbitant for an elk tag  >:(

Oh yeah. I'm sure none of us have 6 or more guns we don't use in the safe, a couple hundred in food, a couple more in gas, hundreds spent at the sporting goods store, and over a grand in time off work for a spike general hunt in this state. $1200 is a lot but the draw odds aren't great even at those prices.
