With the deadline drawing near for applying for 2017 Nevada big game tags, you will need to make a decision soon about where and what to hunt…..there’s a few things to keep in mind~

 

  • About 80% of Nevada land is federally owned-giving Nevada hunters increased opportunity to hunt on thousands of acres of pristine wildlife habitat.  You have lots of terrain options when hunting Nevada, so start doing your homework now.
  • Beware of overlap-there are notable overlap of hunt seasons this year in 2017.  Make sure you don’t sell yourself short if you are applying for several different tags.
  • Know your stats-there are resources available from Nevada Department of Wildlife (NDOW) regarding previous hunt years that will give you an idea of overall hunt results and basic tag demand.
  • It’s your responsibility-regulations and changes to big game seasons happen every year-make sure you’re up to date on the most current information from NDOW.
