Nevada draw questions

[WKR]

I know how the draw works for non residents but my question is for the resident draw, if you don't draw your first choice do you maintain your points? Or does any successful choice take your points back to 0?

Also if a resident puts in with a non resident which pool does the application go into?

 

[David Gough]

Any choice for all applicants will use your bonus points.

Non-resident pool.

Non-resident pool.

So you would have to go many years without drawing any buck tag to get into the top tier units

To get to the top point levels, yes. But they are bonus points (as opposed to preference points) so there is always a chance, however small. The draw creates an order, then your choices are considered when it’s your turn in line. So if you really have your heart set on a specific unit, apply only for that and leave the other choices blank. Otherwise, always put the best units first, then followed by any unit for which you are willing to use your points, because you have the same draw odds for a place in line no matter if you put in for the top unit or the bottom unit, just a matter of whether or not the tag is still available when your place in line comes up.

Yes, or have more luck than most.

I've drawn at least one tag every year. I like Nevada's system more than most.

Friday. They audit the draw results and then get prepared to upload results.

The anticipation is killing me.

The anticipation is killing me.

Same, same. A lot of Nevada residents don't hunt out of state, so some people are losing their minds right now.

48 hours post draw completion is coming up quick...

48 hours post draw completion is coming up quick...

What time did they finish running the draw?

 

[David Gough]

What time did they finish running the draw?

Before noon on Wednesday. I think the 48 hours starts at the EOD of the day of the draw though.

Regardless, I don't think anyone is going to commit the time or resources to suing NDOW for posting the draw results a few hours late.

The rules say within 48 hours and the hour regardless of when the draw was done that day is 5 pm. So you will get your email by 5pm today as the draw was done Wednesday.

5pm pacific?

 

[Steve O]

5pm Nevada time. Yes Pacific.

Even though I’ll have an Utah elk tag, I’ll gladly take anything Nevada will give me!

Results are up. No green for me.
