The Nevada guides draw is an opportunity for Non-Residents to increase their odds at drawing a rifle mule deer tag. The guide's draw is only open to non-residents who wish to apply with an Outfitter of their choice. Because of this the amount of people applying for these tags is drastically reduced and the applicant can expect their chances of drawing to double or even triple depending on the tag they put in for. When applying for guides draw, we work with our hunters to figure out how many bonus points they have, their expectations, and physical capabilities to ensure that their units best match the kind of hunt they are looking for.
The guides draw application period typically starts in February and the draw usually takes place in the first couple weeks of March. If you are interested in applying in the guides draw with us or have questions about units or application strategies, please contact either Keith, Gary, or Seth and we can answer any questions you may have and assist you with the application process if needed.
Nevada is a draw only state aside from auction and landowner tags. The application period typically takes place in the spring time with draw results released sometime in May. Nevada utilizes a bonus point system that squares your points which means the more consecutive years you apply, the greater your chances of drawing a tag become. Nevada's draw structure is ideal due to the fact that your odds always get better every year, but even with 0 bonus points your application is always counted and there is always a chance to draw a tag.

Nevada is a draw only state however, there are some opportunities to bypass the draw. Nevada has what are called landowner compensation tags in which the state issues tags to landowners for antelope, mule deer, and elk depending on the amount of each species on their property. We work with many landowners in the state who give us the opportunity to purchase these tags should they get any. Although these tags can be expensive, they guarantee a hunter the chance to hunt. Please get in contact with us to ask about landowner tag opportunities if you are interested.
