DIRECTOR’S MESSAGE Hope springs eternal! If there ever was an expression to accurately capture the emotions and sentiments surrounding Nevada’s big game tag application process, that is it. Hope springs eternal! Although I’ve had some intermit- tent successes through the years drawing pronghorn antelope tags, deer tags, a few cow elk tags, and even a bull elk tag, when I drew my fifth and Williamstown, MA | Birmingham, AL last choice with nine bonus points, I still haven’t drawn any sheep tags or a mountain goat tag. Every year at this time I begin to contemplate the units in which I will apply, the increasing likelihood that I might draw, and experiences and adventures that would result if I did draw. Hope springs eternal!! For well over two decades now, I receive my draw results and I am confronted with the reality of not drawing a sheep tag yet again and I am left to consider the possibilities. Possibly a good friend or family member will draw, and I can accompany them on their hunt. A couple About This Guide years ago, my son drew the same unit in which I applied. He drew with half the number bonus points that I had. Other possibilities I consider include the possibility of never drawing certain tags, drawing at an age when my increasingly worn knees won’t get me to the places inhabited This high-quality guide is offered to you by the quarry I seek, or possibly finding a way to alter the tag draw system to show a more by the Nevada Department of Wildlife, pronounced advantage to those like me with decades of bonus points and not much more to through its unique partnership with J.F. show for it than a continued support for the agency through my tireless and steadfast pursuit Griffin Publishing, LLC. for the opportunity to hunt.

Since we have more demand than we do a supply, we need to find ways to balance tag allocations to the long-time Graphic Design: contributors while also still providing a chance to draw for the younger and newer hunting Jon Gulley, Dane Fay, John Corey, public. Without making some opportunity available to newcomers, there would not be any Evelyn Haddad, Chris Sobolowski incentive for new hunters to apply and as such, Nevada would lose both funding and the opportunity to recruit new hunters. I truly hope that each one of us receives good news when the draw results are emailed. However, if once again I am faced with the word “unsuccessful” relative to my bighorn sheep tag application, I will rest easy in knowing that the lack of draw success is partly due to a growing demand for the opportunity which bodes well for the future of hunting and species conservation. I also know that even if I do not draw a tag, there is a high likelihood that a good friend or family member will draw and that if they do, I can still experience Nevada’s wildlife through a special and shared experience with someone I care about. Hope springs eternal!

Sincerely, Tony Wasley – Director, Nevada Department of Wildlife

NEVADA MULE DEER HUNTS

RESIDENT JUNIOR MULE DEER HUNTS ANTLERED OR ANTLERLESS Junior youth tag holders can harvest an antlered or antlerless deer. This tag allows the junior hunter to hunt during the archery season when the unit is open for archery only; to hunt with a muzzleloader when the unit is open for muzzleloader only; and to hunt with any legal weapon when the unit is open for any legal weapon. If a junior hunt applicant is unsuccessful in drawing a tag, bonus points will be awarded for the junior hunt. Note: Any bonus points accrued in the junior hunt will automatically transfer to the antlered deer category at the time the junior hunter becomes ineligible for the junior hunt by either age, or after 5 years of application for the junior hunt. Junior youth must be 12 years old prior to the opening of each hunt choice applied for (usually Archery), and will not attain their 18th birthday until after the last day of the last season applied for (usually Any Legal Weapon). An eligible junior hunter may apply no more than 5 years.
