Between deer, elk, antelope...if you add up all my odds I'm probably hovering around a 5% chance at drawing in Nevada
I’m about .05% :chuckle:

:tup: there is still a chance !!!
Honestly I think if you add up the 8 states I put in for might not even be 10% 😂
Still fun tho...I get my money's worth just in anticipation

So yup, I'm in for deer and points for elk and lope this year. First year in the draw.
Good to know we have some folk that try for the Silver State. Seen past threads but hadn't noticed any for this year. I was trying to do spring Turkey down there which was (personally) kaboshed due to COVID. Figures since I had the license this year and know that I'm going to get a license next year for Nevada Spring Turkey I should get my name in the hat for some big game.
If drawn, I'll be scouting for turkey on the way out....
Good luck everyone.

What's the upfront cost to apply?
Could be wrong but you need a non-resident license to apply I believe which was $156, then it's $10/app + misc wildlife fees (predator management fee etc.) You can opt to buy the tag once selected and not up front.
Post by: Karl Blanchard on May 04, 2020, 07:05:51 AM
Just like most states, if you have a pile of points and zero odds of drawing it's by ones own choosing. Theres a good number of deer units that can be had with very few points. Elk is just tough as there is a ton demand for a limited number of tags. The wait will be rewarded though when you draw. There are gggggiant bulls in NV.

Never thought much about Nevada even though I’d always heard of the great hunting. The poor draw odds steered me away I guess. One year my in-laws and I were driving home from Phoenix and decided to drive up through Eastern Nevada on highway 93. That was all it took to get me to start applying. The drive up through Ely was awesome, but the highlight of the trip was going by the Ruby Mountains- stunning beauty. I always thought of NV as one big desert, but it’s so much more than that. I’m still waiting to draw- but I know it will be worth it when I do.
Yes, I had a similar moment. I bought a car in Las Vegas, flew down and drove the car back to WA. That drive up through the middle of Nevada was awesome. I finally got to hunt there last fall, and it did not disappoint. Can't wait to go back.

Draw odds are no good, BUT allot better than WA.
I drew and hunted elk there in a good unit last year. Took 15 years.
Still better than my home state, WA. Took 19 years to draw a good elk tag here.
I've drawn two antelope, two deer and one elk over the 15 year period. All great D.Y.I. hunts.
Have not been able to do that in WA.
In the long run I've spent more money applying in WA. than Nev. Too not be drawn.
Tag cost are way higher when you do draw. But way better hunts.
Just my 2 cents.
I'm all in.

It kills me but I am going to let my two points in Nevada go. I am mostly interested in elk and it is one of the worst states for odds. I got started in the points game later in life than some folks, I'm in my early 40's so I wouldn't even reach 10% odds until close to 60, assuming no point creep. If I were 25 with two points I'd keep at it but I think I aged out of this state. I wish I had studied the odds closer before even trying in Nevada.
Good luck to you all, I'll come help you pack one out!
NV has of all the western states the best system out there. Any year you have a shot at drawing

I’m assuming that has more to do with the amount of tags, not the system?

The system may be great but the odds are loooooong. In most states you have a shot at drawing in any given year since most have some sort of random pool that everyone is in, regardless of points. I'm sure Nevada is great and I am sorry I have to give up on it but just like in Vegas, the odds overwhelmingly favor the house.
I have a better shot at drawing an elk tag in Kentucky than in Nevada.

I wish I would have gotten in 5 years ago but I also can’t justify starting now, odds are long and getting longer every year. I’ll use that money on raffle tickets or start putting it toward one of my bucket list hunts instead.

Nevada is a bonus point system.
Everyone has a chance ever year.
The more bonus points you have the better the odds.
Nevada's system is just like Washington's, only better odds.
Costs less to apply and the hunt if when you are drawn is fantastic.
Do some research.
You have a better chance to draw an elk tag in Nevada that a Quality elk tag in Washington, and a way better hunt.
But I shouldn't be telling you this.
Will only hurt my odds.

I understand how the Nevada draw works and what my odds are, I have done the research. I don't think you are right about the odds or cost versus Washington but we could hash that out in PM rather than here.
I am really glad you like Nevada, and I am not kidding, I'd love to help you or anyone else hunt there. I don't have to be the trigger man to have a good time hunting. I hope to participate in an archery hunt in all the western states and only a couple will be with me as the tag holder. It's just that given all the variables in my life I've decided Nevada just isn't the right fit for me to apply.

Either way only a few more days of waiting until NV most likely crushes my hopes of hunting in that state this year.

I think WA uses the same company so perhaps they will do the same?Same here. But I can't feel too crushed since I already have 2 out of state mulie tags. 😂
