Nevada draw 2026

Last year we got results on the 23rd, but the deadline was May 7th, which is 16 days, so i'm guessing the 26th.
 
Ready for the unsuccessful email just like from every other state. Already got those emails from UT and ID. Here's to hoping though!
 
I think it’s going to be Friday, May 29.

Results are normally released more than two weeks after the application deadline and that’ll be 5/29.

Plus, NDOW has shown the draw on YouTube the last several years and they’ve always announced that event a day before via email and on their social media channels. Draw results have always been released a couple days after the draw is shown on YouTube. Since it’s nearly EOB on Tuesday and there’s no announcement about the draw taking place tomorrow I bet it’ll happen Wednesday May 27 and we’ll see results on May 29 which is the date promised by NDOW.
 
Rejection or success emails should hit around May 29 or right before after.

Official date is on or before Friday, May 29 for the main 26 draw results. Check your NDOW account too most people get the email the same day results drop. Hang tight, it's only a week or so. Good luck
 
I didn't see a Nevada 26 draw thread yet so figured I'd get it going. When can we expect the rejection email?
Ha Ha...no kidding.

I have 24 points for elk....and my odds of drawing have gone steadily downhill. Yep, it's gotten worse! I had a low single digit chance 20 years ago, now I have a less than one percent chance of drawing a good tag. I chit you not.

It seemed like a good idea at the time. I never would have predicted that the NV system of squaring your bonus points would have screwed me so badly.
 
Non-resident archery elk applications have nearly doubled since 2018 for the top unit in the state and there were 25% less tags in that unit last year. Other units are following similar trends. That’s the reason odds are worse over time, not squared bonus points.

Without squared points odds would’ve been .078% for the top unit last year. With 24 points the odds would’ve been .46% per GoHunt, or nearly 6x better.

Odds of drawing still suck regardless of the system!
