Its a very simple formula. YOU DONT! LOL. Since the posted odds only relate to 1st choices there really is no way to know how many 2-5 choices there were. The only thing that I think gives you any idea at all is to look at how many points every one that did draw a tag had. The whole thing is just luck of the draw with your name in the hat more times every year.Sweet! How do I calculate my drawing odds in Nevada?

nvarcher, I appreciate your offer.
My questions so far:
Bonus points are squared. So does 0 points have 1 ticket to draw,what about 1 point?
Are all hunters in the draw selected from one big pool then go down the choices 1-5? Or is the Draw pool just that hunt per choice?

I had a subscription for one year to both EBJ and EHJ. During that time I found quite a lot of errors in the MRS sections for various states. Due to the recurring errors I didn't resubscribe. Not to mention all of the NV info is publicly available and easy to read at their website. Here's a link to some good info.

BP's are squared plus you get 1 entry for the current year. With 0 points you have 1 entry, with 1 point you have 2 entries, with 2 points you have 5 entries, ect. You get a random number for every entry and your lowest random number is your position in the draw. When your number comes up they check for available tags for all of your hunt choices, then it goes to the next applicant.
Hey all, sorry for the inconvenience. The information in the Nevada side bar is all legit information, but like you said it is for Oregon and not Nevada. Thanks for letting us know this happened!

Wow. I don't mean to be blunt but it was a very obvious error. I can't believe this wasn't caught before printing. it was the first thing I noticed. I still love the magazine and it still contained good info. Also it says that only 1 sub-species of sheep can be applied for. That's not correct. Residents can apply for all 3 and non-residents can apply for cali and desert sheep.

I understood it in the MRS that you couldnt get points for both species of sheep like maybe you could just have 1 type of sheep points and they would be used for any sheep you drew but I was wondering if I would be able to apply for more then 1 species too up until I applied and it let me apply for both so I guess I will see if I get points for both this year or how it works out.
The split antelope season dates are also incorrect.They should be Aug 22-28 early and Aug 29- Sept 5 late except the late season in 041-042 and 205-208 is Sept 25- Oct 4.

In Nevada you can earn points for all species of sheep. You can also apply for all species each year (although no Rocky tags to non-residents this year). I drew my desert a few years ago and currently have 2 points. I've got 19 California points. I was earning Rocky points (have 5) but can no longer apply.

I know it has been like that but the MRS said it had changed although I havent seen anything on the NV site that said it had changed and nothing was different when I applied. What happens to points like for the Rocky when you cant apply anymore? Do they just sit there until there is a tag again? I dont have any for them but I have 2 for goats that I was wondering what would happen with them.

Hey MM,
If I understand it right you do just keep the points until the numbers allow for an out of state tag again.
As far as I know, you still build a point separately for every species you put in for and don't draw, if you purchase a license.

You can apply for deer, female elk, and antelope with horns shorter than its ears (basically doe antelope).

Taken for the 2014 regs, basically like Alabama said but some hunts are specific to residency.
"Party applications for game tags are authorized for mule
deer, antlerless elk and horns shorter than ears antelope. Do
Not include applications for Bonus Points Only in a party.
Party applications can be in the following manner: Mule
deer – Hunts 1331, 1341, 1371 (Party applications can
include residents and nonresidents), Hunt 1107 (resident
junior hunters), Hunt 1101 (residents only), Hunt 1181
(residents only) and resident depredation hunts (resident
only). Antlerless elk – (The antlerless elk hunts are specific
to residency. Parties must be all resident clients OR all
nonresident clients, not mixed.) Hunts 4111, 4176, 4181
(Residents only in the party), Hunt 4281 (Nonresidents only
in the party). Horns shorter than ears antelope – Hunt 2181
(Resident only)."

IMHO this thread is very similar to the thread in the Utah Forum where members were discussing mistakes made in the MRS sections every year. It sort of makes it look like rookies are doing them and/or there is no proof reading to at least eliminate the major mistakes like having that Oregon "How to" on two different pages with one being in the Nevada section! Maybe that is strictly a printer problem that is not correctable at the Eastman Office though.
