Any Luck in Nevada?

I was fortunate enough to draw a unit 201, 204-206 early archery tag. Anyone else get lucky in Nevada?

And any tips on this area would be appreciated.

Thanks

12 elk point were not enough to help me.

I was under the impression that entering the big game drawing in Nevada required purchase of a non-refundable hunting license(and application fee).

I just went back an looked at the NDW and could not find anything about this requirement.

Do you have to buy a Nevada hunting license to enter the drawing? If any of you could clue me in I would really appreciate it.

You only have to buy the license if you want to get a preference point.

Twelve years and no tag. If I ever draw I'll quit applying. It's kinda like a poker game. I'm in too deep to quit now.

Muzzleloader deer in 031. My kids also got that area for junior deer. I did luck out and get one of the bear tags. We'll see if the courts shut it down before I get to go.

I drew the big middle finger yet again. I was really hoping I would get something this year especially a bear tag but nope NV continues to take my money with nothing but a preference point in return. Points that likely will amount to nothing.

Well, with 13 antelope points, 12 for elk, 11 for desert and california bighorns, 6 for deer and 8 for mtn. goat, I drew nothing again! I've gone on some really nice hunts in Nevada over the last 5 or 6 years, unfortunately, they were all with friends who drew tags.

After the draw I have a maximum of 8 points except as to deer (drawn 2) and Mountain Goat (drew last year). I can't complain. Much fairer system then MT, WY, Colo, Utah, AZ, etc.

How is the system in NV better than the other states?

I'm not up on the draw system, but I am trying to learn.

Thanks,

the system is not rigged to limit premium tags to max point holders....no point creep.... its a random drawing... higher preference points give better odds but do not guarantee a tag....was explained to me last year this way by my guide... say a unit has 4 tags to give out.... the computer assigns these tags number 1-4...the guy with no points get one random number assigned to him... the guy with 10 PP ( 10+1 number of points +1 squared) gets 121 numbers assigned to him.... whoever gets numbers 1-4 assigned to him gets the tag....they reward those who apply with better odds but do not leave those with low numbers in the cold waiting for 15-20 yrs to draw a tag... they are not stellar odds but at least you have a chance....drew a premium bull elk tag last year with one point
