NEVADA HUNTING:   Nevada is the driest state in the union, and with the highest number of mountain ranges of any state, it provides some of the most remote, stark and beautiful desert hunting. Treestand hunting is virtually unheard of in Nevada. And, getting to and from your Nevada hunting spot will require off-road travel, and maybe even horse-packing or backpacking.

Over 90 percent of Nevada's 110,000 square miles are publicly owned, with over 80 percent of ownership divided between the U.S. Forest Service, Bureau of Land Management, Department of Defense and Department of Energy. Approximately 25 percent of Nevada is closed to the public for military ranges and areas sensitive to national security. Access to some popular public hunting areas may be blocked by private ranches and landholdings.  Permission to cross private land is required.  Nevada offers a diverse array of hunting opportunities. Hunted species include big game such as mule deer, Rocky Mountain elk, three sub-species of bighorn sheep, pronghorn antelope, and mountain goat.
Some of the most popular upland game species include Chukar partridge, California and Gamble's quail, ruffed grouse, blue grouse, dove, and the Himalayan snowcock, an introduced species from Asia that is unique to the Ruby Mountains in northeastern Nevada.
Nevada is a large state, and consequently a perspective hunter will need to do some homework, and perhaps some scouting, in order to successfully pursue Nevada game species.
For big game, NDOW maintains a list of hunter information sheets which are designed to provide the perspective big game hunter with basic information. Upland game and waterfowl opportunities can vary greatly depending on climate and weather variables, consequently, persons pursuing small game are encouraged to investigate local conditions prior to traveling to hunting areas
charge access fees.

Big game species in Nevada include: mule deer, elk, pronghorn antelope, bighorn sheep, mountain lion and mountain goat. All of Nevada's big game hunting is on a tag-draw system. Applications are accepted from about mid-March to the third week of April. Resident deer hunters will usually draw a tag once every two to three years and only one in four hunters will get a tag in any given year. As a result, Nevada offers some of the finest mule deer hunting anywhere, with buck to doe ratios in most areas from 25 to 40 bucks per 100 does.

Upland game hunting in Nevada is challenging. Like most upland birds, chukar densities are high in dry years, with birds bunching around waterholes. During wet years, they tend to scatter out, making bird hunting challenging and often exacting. Sage grouse numbers are declining, so look for reduced limits and more restrictive seasons and regulations. There are several good waterfowl hunting spots in Nevada. The largest are the wildlife management areas: Stillwater WMA, near Fallon, Mason Valley WMA, near Yerington, Pahranagat Lake, near Caliente, Franklin Lake WMA, in the Ruby Valley and Overton WMA, near Lake Mead.
