Wondering about Nevada tags

[fire652]

My brother lives in Vegas and I am thinking about planning a hunt in Nevada next year. He is not s hunter but enjoys backpacking. His show goes dark in October then the first week in November any Otc permits that I might be able to bow hunt during those times or any draws I could put in for. Would it be better to drive to another state. Thanks for any info

I would look at OTC tags in Arizona in December..Nevada doesn't offer "OTC" tags. They have leftovers from some of the undersubscribed archery hunts, but they are mostly in Aug-Sept timeframe.

Is there a good zone to put in for an archery tag

Area 101-109 early is pretty much a guaranteed archery tag. Season starts around the middle of August

Garuntee if you get it on the 2nd draw. I wouldn't garuntee it. There is usually leftover resident tags for it.

101-109 late archery hunt would be in that time frame, plus all the rifle hunt for deer and cow elk.

Not an easy tag to draw. I'm 1/3 the last few 3 years.

If you're a non-resident there are no guarantees in Nevada. It's either draw if you are lucky or buy leftovers. Based on the brother living in Las Vegas is my reasoning for looking at Arizona OTC archery..not that far to drive and a real guarantee that you will be able to hunt. Basing next years plans on the Nevada draw is a tough proposition.

If you are gonna apply in Nevada make sure you get your hunter safety certificate verified with them way ahead of the draw or you will be left out.

I recently moved here and am looking into drawing this season as a resident, really want to get into the backpacking also so researching a lot. Also have been hunting AZ for awhile even before I lived here but my wife has family here and used to live here so would fly into Vegas and drive to AZ. Pretty easy drive to be hunting in AZ just gotta figure out the areas, fun hunting.
Good luck.

check out southwest desert in Utah.

There are no OTC opportunities in Utah that I can think of that time of the year.
