the piw tag you have to hunt in an open season with that weapon. the silver state tag your season runs from july 31 till ? with weapon of your chioce any where that has an open season not in an open season. odds aren't much better for piw tags
They suckered me in. Only because I am on my waiting period for Pronghorn and Elk and now I have a ever so small chance of hunting them again. They are costly though.
Truly once in a lifetime opportunity. I would invest ALOT of time in ALOT of zones! I know a dude that drew it and ended up killing a 24" 3x3. All I can do is shake my head.
I probably would hire a outfitter if I drew the tag! I wouldn't have the time to properly scout the great state of Nevada. And if you are going to win the lottery of deer tags, why not make good use of it!
