Nevada Division of Wildlife reports that the second and final computerized big game tag drawing was completed and a total of 2,953 resident and 29 nonresident tags remain available to hunters.
In 12 hunt units throughout the state, a total of 1,873 junior deer tags (either sex) remain available to those ages 12 through 15. Youth hunters who were ineligible to apply in earlier drawings because they had not reached the age of 12, may apply for one of these tags if they have completed an approved hunter education course and now meet the age criteria.
Other remaining resident deer tags include 1,080 deer archery buck tags in 12 hunt units throughout the state.
Remaining nonresident tags include 28 deer archery buck tags and one antelope archery buck tag.
NDOW cautions hunters that remaining tags are only available to those who have not obtained any other tag this year for that same species. All other tags that remained after the first initial drawings were awarded through the recently completed second drawing process.
Big game tags in Nevada are allocated through computerized tag drawings. Two drawings were conducted this year; one in June and the second in early July. Tag quotas for each species are established annually based on the safe allowable harvest.
Remaining tags are available only through NDOW’s application process as explained in the 1999 Nevada Hunt Book. Tag applications and the Nevada Hunt Book are available at all NDOW offices located in Reno, Fallon, Elko and Las Vegas.
As in the past, applications for the remaining tags must be mailed to the hunt application office in Fallon. Applications will be accepted beginning on July 23. The sale of the remaining tags will continue until the close of the season, or through November 30, whichever comes first.
