Nevada OTC

[Bkypreos]

I got a quick question for you Nevada guys. Do they offer over-the-counter tags for archery? I live on the arizona border along the river. Also where is good mule deer populations close to my area? Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Nope. No OTC for anything in Nv

 

[Ikeepitcold]

You can kill all the coyotes you want tho no tag required. You can buy Mt Lion tags OTC but that is it

If there are leftover tags after the second draw you can buy tags OTC first come first serve. Got mine last year for 17 that way. The rubies usually have a bunch left over. Gotta be quick on the opening date cause they go fast.

Thanks Jason! I forgot about the left overs.

Ya but you lose your points on left over tags thats just not right

Agreed!!!!

I wouldn't loose my points for that area. Deer numbers are high and so are the hunters. It's pretty much a meat hunt IMO. There is always a good buck or two but to loose points your trying to build for a trophy area I would pass on the OTC tag.

I knew that you would loose your points if you draw in the 2nd draw but would you still loose your points on a tag thats left after the 2nd draw? This points after the first draw deal doesnt make any sense to me at all. I would get a Ruby's smokepole tag if wouldnt loose points for it.

Ya seems dumb to me too. Why would you loose points if you buy a crappy left over tag OTC? Just crazy

I'm just getting started and new to hunting so any chance to hunt is good with me, I'm just thankful for the opportunity to chase a few deer. I need the experience and want to see more country. Where is a good area in the southern half of the state?

I'm not super familiar with the south, maybe Hardstalk can jump in. I know the Pioche area produces some monsters.

 

[Bkypreos]

What about quail? Also what the price of a deer tag?

Also what the price of a deer tag?

NDOW.org will have all of the information you need.

IKIC, I definitely wouldn't waste a point in the rubies either, I drew an area with 5 points I really wanted 2 years ago and had 1 point last year, over 200 tags left over for archery buck and some doe in the rubies (can't remember but I know there were rifle doe). A couple buddy's of mine have been hunting 17 for 10+ years and had tags. 19 tags leftover and I swooped one. Glad I did, I can bow hunt there every year for all I care. Some good bucks but ya gotta get back in there.

You already missed the main draw this year and since you have no points and just want to go hunting I would say to wait till the leftover tag list comes out and apply for the closest tag to you in the 2nd drawing. If I had no points and no other tag I would pickup a Ruby's ML tag in a heartbeat!

DO people with points actually use them on a leftover tag that can be drawn with 0 points? I can see 1 point if you are not building points and didnt draw and want to hunt every year, but more then that makes no sense at all to me.

I would hope not. But like he said he's wanting the experience and if you don't have points why not? There are some big bucks in the Rubies during archery. A few years back Cam Hanes killed a big buck in the Rubies that was on the tv show. He was way high at a steep angle and the arrow went through the bucks back and out his chest taking out his heart. Those bucks migrate out of that country when the rifle seasons start.

With no points and a guy wants to hunt heck might as well.

Is that hunt on an Eastmans Video? I remember a shot like that on 1 of them.
