If you live there I see how could feel that way. What do you think about the secondary draw? Should they just leave those tags for sale to residents since they are left over from the resident pool? Currently they lump both R and NR in the same pool. Kinda like they did with FCFS last year.A great change. Should have been designed this way from day one.
Man I would love that, the other side of that is a large number of hunters would hold out for the “special units” making those draw odds even harder but the 1-3 year hunts we have now would be probably become an every year type of thing.And yeah go to 2 choices on the app and watch the odds go way up in a lot of units.
I know a guy that purposely waited until the last minute to turn in a tag that he knew he was going to turn in, solely for the purpose of denying anyone else the chance to get it, his reasoning, was they might get a buck he could get the following year. Totally BS, in my opinion, I think there should be a deadline so that someone else can use it,I said this last year on this forum. Most hunters know if they're going to turn a tag back in, it's a matter of hunter ethics, turn it in early enough for an alternate to get the tag. Someone who's probably got alot of points. Ethics.
Eliminate the any reason for turning in a tag.I know a guy that purposely waited until the last minute to turn in a tag that he knew he was going to turn in, solely for the purpose of denying anyone else the chance to get it, his reasoning, was they might get a buck he could get the following year.

Love it. Still let the poor guy who breaks his leg the day before give it back. But any reason is bull crap. I have a buddy who wants to return his tag because "deer quality". Why did you put in for that tag to start then?Eliminate the any reason for turning in a tag.
Death,medical military. That's it.
Don't intend to hunt the tag? Don't apply.
It’s always been First Come First Served for tags you are eligible for. I’m on the waiting period for elk so I can’t get a returned elk tag. This change just means a non resident can’t get a resident tag from a pool that they are not eligible for???"First Come, First Served" does not fit the profile of the new system. It should be "Returned Resident/Returned NonResident" tags. They are dividing us at every turn, even when it comes to hunting.
SS —— we got a lot of work to do west of the Sierra’s The entire operation needs a overhaul from top to bottom. But I’m so thankful for my resident draw opportunities in CA - ?It’s always been First Come First Served for tags you are eligible for.

Interesting that people jump right to the whole divided thing when things don’t go their way. I think Nevada residents are more than generous to share 10% of our tags when thousands of Nevadans sit home every year waiting to draw.
Hunting is great here because we make sacrifices. I encourage you to get involved and change the policies in your state to make things the way you want.
I never get mad about other states policies because I view myself as a guest that is fortunate for the opportunity to share their resources. ————SS
Real native Nevadans don’t even need tags to hunt. ——SSI think they should offer Native Nevadan tags. Allocate 25% of tags available to people born in Nevada.
Oh boy….. you are one of those people. Sorry to offend sir…….Real native Nevadans don’t even need tags to hunt. ——SS
To the contrary, I've hunted Nevada nearly every year on some tag or another, one being a late season Deer tag i picked up off the First Come list..I'd say things have gone my way quite nicely. i do however still believe that in nearly every group there is some sort of division taking place that pits certain parts of those groups against the other. Just an observation that makes me long for the days when families could and would hunt/fish/recreate together and it was easy to do so.It’s always been First Come First Served for tags you are eligible for.

And you just reduced your chances of getting a tag by bringing this post back to the top….staring at my phone as many hours as I have since FCFS started I’m yet to actually have the chance to add a tag to my cart. The first year a tag started to load and it never did so I refreshed and of course it was gone. Only other time I’ve even seen a tag loading was again a minute ago and same story. Page was frozen for three minutes before I decided to refresh
Every time someone posts what they see that’s a google search result that hurts their chances (mostly mine). I have 6 deer points I am looking to burn when rifle tags post!! ShhhhhhAnd you just reduced your chances of getting a tag by bringing this post back to the top….
Because everyone forgot until i reminded them? Lucky for me I guess I’m a Nevada res and I have a tag to hunt. I wasn’t looking to pick one up just wanted to see one pop up so I know they’re real.And you just reduced your chances of getting a tag by bringing this post back to the top….
Ill admit that everyone that plays the game would eventually get on board but you just sped that up for people that don't pay attention or expend the effort.Because everyone forgot until i reminded them?

I don’t have a problem with it at all. It’s first come first serve. Good luck this season to you. Like I said I really just wanted to see one pop upIll admit that everyone that plays the game would eventually get on board but you just sped that up for people that don't pay attention or expend the effort.
I guess I understand it if you already have a tag and aren't really interested in picking up another.
People can disagree but Ive picked up a 241 archery buck tag, 221 elk archery tag, and a 115 lope tag by getting in early before so many people were watching.
Typically closer to the season when a tag is returned with less than 14 days prior to the start of the season. They also state that tags not issued in the draws, or returned to NDOW with no eligible alternate are eligible as well but this generally never happens as all tags are typically taken or spoken for with alts.Can ALW show up at any time or closer to the seasons? So if was looking for a hunt in October would the FCFS tags show up in September more so than in August?
Ya ship has sailed on this for NR.Been watching like a hawk and only seen an archery cow elk tag, which I bought. Pretty slim pickings for the NR, but that’s expected with the changes this year. At least I’ll be hunting in Nevada this month.
Agreed. Wish I had jumped in a few years ago when it started but got a great tag last year so I can’t complain at all.Ya ship has sailed on this for NR.
I passed on it, 25% kill rate last yearSomebody got a good one ... I refreshed multiple times, it sat there for a couple minutes at least. Too bad I'm out of leave due to recent events. Lol.

I noticed that as well. The number of first choice apps was low too, which was surprising to me. I know the elk are there.I passed on it, 25% kill rate last year
No doubt, I’d just like to stay a bit closer to home on short notice. I went 8 hours on 7 days notice the last time to a new area. Found a lot of high scoring bucks but come opening day, I settled due to time constraints.Those are both great units. Alot of high scoring bucks come out of 022.
