To purchase bonus points does one need also to purchase a non resident hunting license.

You'd best contact them.
Each state is different.

The answer is yes. The specific language from the Nevada regs is "Prior to applying or during the application process applicants must purchase the hunting or combination hunting and fishing license to earn bonus points".

You must have a hunting license to apply in Nevada’s big game drawings. Been playing that game for about 25 years.
