Nevada - Is it Worth it?

I drew an archery deer tag in NV last year. A landowner deer tag in that unit goes for about $17k. I could apply for NV for the rest of my life and not spend even close to that much, so in my case it was worth it.
Did you share the hunt? Did I miss it?
 
honestly, Nevada probably isn't worth it starting from scratch. If you apply for 30 years, you aren't even statistically going to draw an elk or antelope tag. You should draw a single deer tag and for the cost, it just doesn't seem worth it to me. I would rather buy a landowner tag in New Mexico.

Other than elk, I think that's highly dependent on the tags you're going for.
 
Rifle hunts for me so the odds are long on everything
I used to do rifle only as well, but with odds still dropping yearly despite 27 squared points, I made my 3rd, 4th & 5th choices all archery, all species this year. In an attempt to burn points and exit the system. Same for Utah. I want out of both these donations.

Yeah because Utah and Nevada have treated you as a non resident so poorly. Both have such a limited resource that residents that live there year round wait decades themselves to draw most tags one of which you have drawn and majority will never draw in their lifetime. Utah alone they have to decide whether or not to put in for MSG or DEA and you get to apply for all each year. You are choosing to play. Stay home and hunt whitetails if your "donations" are hurting you so much. FFS. Your entitlement and constant whining sucks.

BlakeA, If you can't follow the forum rules, as Randy says "It's time for you to go elsewhere". Can you read?

Some forum etiquette, since such seems to be lacking around here lately. These are nothing different than what you agreed to when you signed up.

--> Post something that contributes to the topic at hand. If not, don't post. It's that simple.

--> Treat every person with respect, the same as if you were sitting in the same room with them.

--> This is a forum to share information. Sharing means that we have people who are wanting your knowledge and experience, and at times, your opinions. Share it in a manner that is respectful and helpful.

--> When a thread is started, stay on the topic of that thread. Do not hijack threads with issues unrelated to the original post.


If you are a continual critic and seldom provide anything positive to the members of the forum, expect your account to be terminated; sooner rather than later. If your tone is continually negative and confrontational, odds are you won't be here long.

We invest a lot of money in this forum. We spend a ton of time monitoring this forum. It is a powerful platform and when used properly, is a great resource for all. We will no longer tolerate people/behavior that detracts from the purpose and benefits of this forum.

There are so many great folks who are willing to help fellow hunters and who are doing great work for hunting and conservation. Some of the most hardcore hunters in the country hang out here, with many more lurking here. By far, the members of this forum are the most informed on issues affecting hunting, when compared to other forums. The level of positive activism of our members is beyond compare. Those people are what makes this forum a great place. We will moderate/monitor this forum in a manner that builds on those attributes, removing anything that detracts from such.

BlakeA, Really sorry if you can't handle other's opinions. I just answered the OP's question with the truth, my honest opinion, and with respect, as Randy requests. It would be great if you could do the same, and refrain from unprovoked personal attacks. And follow the forum rules you agreed to when registering with Hunt Talk.

Is this the bunch you somehow expect me to sympathize with? The ones who handed the keys to SFW? The one's who egregiously derailed Randy & RMEF's attempt at reforming the Expo from the folks sponsoring AZ HB2072 in 2012? The ones who put all our UT public land tags on their auction block? The ones who greased Jerry Weiers to try and put Arizona's public land tags on their auction block? Wow, that is one helluva big ASK.


I have a question. Are you an outfitter? If so, that would explain a lot.

@Zim oh yeah, huge outfitter here lol.

I've hunted both UT and NV and am incredibly grateful for my experiences there along with having the privilege to have even been given a tag there when I reside elsewhere. I could be like some I suppose and just be a taker and once I get my tag and I am done with their resources just sit back and run my mouth at how corrupt they are rather than being appreciative and be happy to contribute to their state agency or their programs for habitat or guzzlers but that's not me I guess. I enjoyed my hunts so much that they both can take my money for many years to come and I am completely OK with that. Maybe I'm a fool to think my funds are helping them but I would rather be a fool than whine and trash a place that has given me an opportunity to have cool experiences there and on my own. It's pretty simple, if you don't like it, don't apply. They owe you nothing. I would wish you luck in the upcoming draws but I'll pass. Hopefully they go to a young kid :cool:
