Hunt Nevada
Tags & Applications
What is there to hunt in Nevada?
Big Game - Mule deer, elk, pronghorn antelope, bighorn sheep and mountain goats all require tags to be hunted. The application period for the tags is from mid-March to mid-April. Mountain lion tags are available year-round over the counter at any authorized license agent.
Nevada’s big game hunts are conducted by a random draw process and are available to those 12 years old or older. Applications are generally available in mid-March and the application deadline is around mid-April. A second drawing is conducted for remaining tags in June, and any remaining tags after that draw can be applied for on a first-come, first-served basis.
Upland Game: Anyone 12-years of age or older who hunts upland game such as sage-grouse, blue and ruffed grouse, Himalayan snow partridge, chukar, Hungarian partridge, quail and pheasant must have an upland game bird stamp in addition to a hunting license while hunting. A upland game stamp is not required to hunt crows, turkey, cottontail or white-tailed jackrabbit.
Migratory Game Birds and Waterfowl: A hunting license and both state and federal duck stamps are generally required to hunt waterfowl in Nevada (check regulations for youth hunting and stamp requirement information). Waterfowl include: swan, ducks, mergansers and geese.
Online tag applications can be found at www.huntnevada.com.
To purchase a license, please visit any of our NDOW offices or license agents. Hunting and fishing licenses, mountain lion tags, upland game stamps and trout stamps as well as duplicate licenses are also available for sale online at www.ndowlicensing.com.
Nevada law requires anyone born after 01/01/1960 who is buying a hunting license to show proof of hunter education. Learn more about Hunter Education requirements.
Please review the 2008 Big Game Seasons & Application Regulations and the Hunt Book. The Big Game Seasons & Application Regulations can be picked up at any NDOW office or license agent. The newest Hunt Book will be available in early June at NDOW offices, license agents, and will also be mailed to successful tag applicants. |
