Just looked at Nevada's 2021 regulations and returning a tag in a party hunt was changed.
Yep and the guys that have grandma and grandpa will have two more chancesGood change, will improve the collecting of points by non hunters. They will have one more chance to cash out though.

this helps resolve the issue of an applicant who applies with someone who never has any intention to hunt and allows others to piggy back off of their points.
My question actually comes on the first come first serve part. So any after the second draw, or tags without an eligible alternate. So does this include any tag within 14 days of the start of the hunt that is turned back will be a part of this program? I know a lot of tags went unused this way because within that window there was “ no eligible alternate”. I hope not. Id rather see a checkbox that says you are willing to accept a tag within that short time frame. I think itll be tough for the normal person to score one of those tags, as outfitters etc will be hitting refresh all the time on the site and scooping them all up.
Thanks. I only watched a portion of the commission meeting that brought this up. But part of the reason first come first serve was brought up was when Jack Robb talked about sheep tags being returned too close to the hunt and not being reissued, and giving people the opportunity to use those tags on short notice in a first come first serve. So that was part of that discussion. Was wondering if that was included.There is a box you check, and within the guidelines of the return process, will automatically get issued to you if it is on your app.
The first come first served is for the tags which get returned and which have no pre accepted alternate, so they go on the open list so to speak. Very few tags.
There is a possibility that a tag could be returned prior to the start of the season and there is not enough time to re issue that tag, so it goes unused. (Someone turning a tag in during that 2 week time period. Not enough time to process the return, re issue the tag and mail it to the new person before the season starts )
There is also a 7 day window after the initial draw where you can decline your tag, and they go straight to the second draw pool.
Where do I find the draw order? ThanksRegarding another change this year. I am glad they set the draw order of the tags and have it clearly marked. Makes deciding what to apply for a lot easier.

I seem to recall last year several tags on the second draw list, like archery bull elk and a few others. I can't remember of there was a note indicating those tags were returned and had no alternate, but it seems there was something like that.mevertsen
Thanks for the post
Ddid you mean to say the tags declined within the first seven days go directly to the second round or or are they offered to alternates first before going into the second draw?
I do understand how the alternate system works and also I am aware of the seven day window just wasn’t clear where those seven day decline tags went? Thanks

Do you mean the application calendar dates?The draw category thing, am I reading that right?
We can’t draw a cow elk and antlered mule deer tag in the same seasonDo you mean the application calendar dates?
I think it looks about right.
You are reading it wrong.We can’t draw a cow elk and antlered mule deer tag in the same season
Same here.I am happy that the Bull draw is now ahead of the cow draw.
Before I was applying for a Bull tag and cow points only because I didn’t want to hurt my chances of drawing a Bull tag.
Now my problem is what to do with all those cow points?
Me too J. NV has made some good changes to their already great system this year. The draw order is a one huge for me since I'm sitting on nearly 20 bull elk pts and would've hated to draw a cow tag over a bull tag!!I am happy that the Bull draw is now ahead of the cow draw.

Yeah looking forward to the odds in 2-3 years and to see if it actually helps me in the units I like to apply for as a nr, I’m not sure there will be a huge odd change as a nr but I hope to move to Nevada one day and be a resident.Great and prudent changes to the party hunting rules. Things will be just a little bit more fair from now on. Draw odds will likely suffer this year as all the party folks have one final hurrah at drawing their tags with granny. Looks like granny's finally going hunting.------SS
