BRYAN_E · May 2, 2011

Will they set the quotas during the next up coming meetings or will the set them on a future date?
Are they still going to do the draw 48 hours after the quotas are set?

NVdrhntr · May 2, 2011

They will set the quotas on the 14th.
They post results 48 hrs after the draw is done.
however, the draw is not done 48 hrs after quotas are set.
Last year the draw was on May 26th I believe. with results on
the 28th? or somewhere close to that.

NVBighorn · May 2, 2011

Nvdr, when is your meeting?

BRYAN_E · May 3, 2011

Thanks NVdrhntr, I guess I was hoping the draw would be done right after the quotas are set. I'm not very good at waiting.

NVdrhntr · May 3, 2011

NVbighorn,

It is supposed to be on Monday, May 9th. that's word of mouth.
Haven't received any correspondence confirming.

NVdrhntr · May 3, 2011

Bryan,
I agree. This is worse than waiting for Christmas as a kid.
May is the longest month.

nocal · May 3, 2011

For some of the hunts, the total of the rec tags (for the unit)don't equal the total of tags for the species hunt. i. e., Non/res elk for example. Does that mean they are giving us more tags? God I hope so......

NVBighorn · May 3, 2011

Pretty sure it'd have to be posted tomorrow by 9. Maybe it'd be Thursday. I'll keep an eye out. I'll try to be there.

mevertsen · May 3, 2011

I think it is operator error there.

BTW - The draw won't be on the 9th. The meeting isn't until the 14th!! It will be about 2 weeks after that so that they have time to get all the information in the computer and make a few test runs to make sure it is all working correctly. Too much information enter and double check to have it done in a couple days. The draw has always been right around the last week of May. After the draw, the results will be posted within 48 hours, then cards will start getting hit a few days after that.

NVdrhntr · May 3, 2011

Sorry mevertsen,
NVbighorn and I hijacked your thread to talk about a County Advisory board meeting on the 9th.
not the draw.

mevertsen · May 4, 2011

ok - saw it now - no biggie - I will go sit in the corner now lol

NVBighorn · May 4, 2011

Yeah mevertsen, sorry for the sidetrack. I knew what I was talking about. Why didn't you just read my mind? Now there's a scary thought.

BTW nvdr, not posted as of 9:30 am. We may need a review of nrs 241.

I'm digging the Area 10 tag split-up

silverstatehunter · May 5, 2011

Ouch!!! Muzzy Elk especially 231, and 73

ELKOHUNTER · May 5, 2011

Wow, they really are trying to kill all the bucks in 10! Unreal.....

RHS · May 5, 2011

I agree! So much for relieving the pressure!

BRYAN_E · May 5, 2011

>Wow, they really are trying to
>kill all the bucks in
>10! Unreal.....

But on the bright side their going to save all the Doe's in 10!

ELKOHUNTER · May 5, 2011

Well not to worry then! Whats the deal on the goat tags? They went from 17 tags last year to 8 this year??? But they are giving out 4 rocky tags??? I didn't get that one.

Z · May 5, 2011

There are alot of tags in area 10....but how many of the hunters who recieve a tag are totally commited to lashing it to a set of antlers?

Hopfully my wife gets draw in the Rubies this year so I can show her what a real hunt is like

I think I might have spoiled her by hunting in Texas for her first few times. Heaven forbid she doesn't get a hot shower and a melting cheeseburger after every outing lol

Z · May 5, 2011

Wondering how many people applied for the Mid season.

mevertsen · May 5, 2011

I added everything up, and its the same amount of rifle tags in 10 for deer as it was last year, within a few. The increase was in the archery and muzzle loader hunts, which don't have a high enough success rate anyway to make a difference.

nvnative79 · May 6, 2011

EH, I am guessing the goats aren't doing too well in 101 & 102 also, so the biologist is recomending to cut the tags. As for the Rockys the tags are for different areas that haven't had a die off recently and NDOW is recomending 5 tags.

mickeyelk · May 6, 2011

Draw the tag first, then get prepared. Archery, muzzy and early rifle are the hardest due to the fact the deer are at the top of the mountain and its a long way up. Can't get lost, just go down, you'll hit or see a road fairly quickly. Last hunt is the easiest (snow dependent) the rut is starting and the snow has pushed them lower. 10 years ago I would spend 7-9 days up there. Legs are not what they use to be and now 3-5 days is the longest without a nice break in between. With the new seasons for rifle and them splitting the hunters between the seasons it will make the hunt nicer. Less people and crowding. If your legs are in good shape hunt the northern end of 101 and 102. If there not, hunt the lower end of 102 and into 103. Road hunting is only good during the late hunt or if you get permission to hunt private land. I hunted two years with a bow many years ago and it was exciting seeing all those bucks in velvet, but getting on one is sometimes a little hard. Go downwind and above. Good luck and have fun.

ELKOHUNTER · May 6, 2011

nvnative79

Thanks. I missed that on the Rocky tags. My bad. But I still think there are to meny tags in 10. Thats a lot of hunters when you add them all up. Just the same i hope to be up there with a bow this year. Good luck in the draw.

ELKOHUNTER · May 6, 2011

With that being said. I do like what there doing with the lope tags this year and in years past. They seem to be going up but slowly. And still lots of good bucks to be had.

nvbucks · May 6, 2011

Desert bighorn tags - Can someone explain to me why they are proposing giving out an additional 3 NR tags this year compared to last year. They want to increase the total resident tags by 9. So, aren't they only obligated to give out 10% of the total resident tags to NR's which would mean that only 1 NR tag would have to be available. And they are proposing giving one of those additional NR tags out in unit 263 for a total of 2 NR tags in that unit now. 20% of the hunters hunting sheep in one of the best units in the state will be NR.... Not sure I like this formula.

NVBighorn · May 6, 2011

Nvbucks,

With a very quick look I see 223 desert sheep tags (201+22). 10% of 223 would be 22. Not sure why only 19 last year, should have been more like 20 or 21.

Also NDOW wanted to expand the areas where nonresidents would be allowed but I think the commission didn't vote that way. But you still gotta jam 22 tags in those same areas.

That's how I understood it anyway.

maybe I don'tunderstand the 10% rule then. I see that there are 201 proposed resident tags which would equate to 201*10% = 20 NR tags. Not the 22 they are proposing. Why do you have to add the Resident tags of 201 to 22 NR tags and then calculate the 10%.

NVBighorn · May 7, 2011

When NDOW recommends tags they are tags, not resident or non resident. They recomemded 223 tags. Policy says 10 % of those tags go to nonresidents. Res get 90%, nr get 10%.

mlycrzy · May 7, 2011

What is the deal with recomending 400+ more late cow elk tags in units 111-222 while lowering the bull tags?? Also, looks like more deer tags across the boeard in most of the units I apply for as well.

Ya that seems pretty cut and dry to me.

HEVISHOT · May 9, 2011

I think they need to do like California. California only gives out one nonresident tag for sheep, elk, and antelope. That way us Nevada residents have more of a chance of drawing. But NDOW wants the money so they will continue to allow nonresidents to have 10% of the tags.

ElmerFudd · May 9, 2011

LAST EDITED ON May-10-11 AT 03:38AM (MST)[p]Be careful what you ask if you want to make it like in CA. We are not a good model

CA's one nonresidenbt tag for elk, sheep & lope is BS, I have wrote and told them as a resident... After all, us CA residents depend on nonresident hunting for those. It's a law that takes our legislature to change, DFG can't do much.

But, remember, there is no nonresident restriction on deer tags.... Wohooo!

NVBighorn · May 10, 2011

Do a google search on USO and the battle from a few years ago over nonresident tags. 2004 I think. Over descrimination against nonresidents is toying with fire. It got fixed last time but I don't want to go there again.

nvbucks · May 10, 2011

I have no issue with the 10% rule. I was just confused how they actually calculated it but NVbighorn has squared that away for me. Thanks for doing that so I have a clear understanding. I still don't agree with putting an additional NR bighorn tag in perhaps the best unit in the state. But that is just my opinion.

NVBighorn · May 10, 2011

Not gonna argue win you there nvbucks. Even tho I love to hunt sheep I dislike all the drama that comes with it at times.

Packmule · May 10, 2011

So I've been reading that the quotas are supposed to be presented at the commission meeting this friday in Reno and approved or modified. Does any one have any info on when the draw might be going down?? I know they have their slated date but it always seems to happen earlier than that. The latest word I've received is that it is goint to take place next friday May 20th??
