Good luck to all you folks on the forum! I hope all of you draw so we can see you in the Eastmans journals and see some awesome pics on the forum.

I am sooooo ready for the Nevada draw. My wife and I are batting 0.000 this year on tags so far (AZ, NM, WY, UT, CO). I know we will hit a couple locally here in Oregon, but I sure would like a Nevada tag this year.

Anyone have thoughts on the quotas? I don't think I've seen any posts on it.
2013 Quotas : http://www.ndow.org/uploadedFiles/ndoworg/Content/Hunt/Seasons_and_Regulations/Big_Game/CR_1309_BG_Quotas.pdf
2012 to compare : http://www.ndow.org/Education/Publications/Big_Game_Seasons/ (I can't find a better place that lists actual quotas, I can't seem to find anything on the new NDOW website)
Looks like Elk tag #s are up, deer seems up in some and down in others. Thought maybe diverting the conversation would lower the anxiety on the ol' NV board. Good luck gentlemen.

I've been reviewing them. Deer quota are lower overall which is a good thing IMO. It means they are finally listening to the citizens and cab boards instead of listening to what ndow wants.

Definitely a good thing in my opinion, still tough though. The 50% increase last year was rediculous in my opinion, a 14% decrease this year (my rough calc) is a good step but still high.

Sounds consistent with what the Big Game Status Book (which is a good read) says;
"The statewide adult elk population estimate increased from 15,100 lastyear to 16,600 for 2013. Nevada’s elk harvest management continues to be based on meeting population objectives within the guidelines of the state’s Elk Species Management Plan. Statewide populationincreases resulted in a substantial increase in overall recommended tag quotas."

Statistically I should atleast draw my last choice antelope tag this year. Antelope season is at a real bad time of year for me so I decided to try to cash in my points before I get in any deeper. I should have some chance at a deer tag and elk is a long shot at best, but thats what makes it exciting!! If we all knew what we would draw what fun would it be
