I have always wanted to hunt deer in Nevada but as a nonresident I can’t justify “donating” $113.00 to get a point if you don’t draw. I’m sure some lucky people get drawn the first time as nonresidents but they are few and far between. My neighbor has 5 points and still did not draw last year.
I would like to see all the states use the Utah nonresident method for acquiring points. You can either buy a point for $5.00 and not apply or you can apply, not get drawn and get a single point for $5.00.
The Utah system makes you decide which point you earn, you can not get multiple points for various species. I currently have 3 Bull Elk points, 7 seems to be the magic number to draw my hunt. I also put in for draw Deer hunts but can’t get points because I prefer to collect Elk points. Great system!
