Nevada Hunting Seasons

Nevada’s varied landscape and huge public lands make it an excellent hunting destination. Mule deer, bighorn sheep, and mountain lions are just a few animals that may be hunted in northern Nevada. The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) governs millions of acres, providing enough area for hunters to explore and pursue their prey. Those interested in hunting will find plenty of open territories in this state. Let’s find out the complete list of species available in Nevada for hunting.

Cost of Tags

In Nevada, big game hunting season is limited to certain periods of the year. Animals, including antelope, bear, deer, elk, bighorn sheep and mountain goats, fall under this category. The mountain lion is the only animal whose tags are not given in a random computerized draw every year in early June. In contrast, mountain lion tags may be purchased from any Department office in the state, a licensed agent, or even online. Individuals in the state of Nevada are permitted to engage in mountain lion hunting during the whole calendar year.

Hunting Regulations

  • Using aircraft, helicopters, or motorized vehicles to harass, shoot at or discover game animals or birds is illegal. Using helicopters to carry the game, hunters, or hunting equipment is forbidden unless loading or unloading occurs at a publicly accessible airport, landing field, or heliport.
  • Using airplanes, hot air balloons, unmanned aerial vehicles, satellites, or other technologies that orbit the globe and create real-time photographs to find or watch game animals or fur-bearing mammals for hunting is forbidden from July 1 through February in specific management units. Slow flight at low altitudes, hovering, circling, or repeatedly flying over game animal sites are signs.
  • It’s illegal to hunt using radio signals or other devices attached to animals. Any collar or other device that uses radio telemetry or satellite transmission to determine animal location cannot be broken, destroyed, or harmed on purpose. Accidental capture of animals while using a transmitter demands prompt notice and return of the device.
  • Baiting or hunting baited big game is illegal. “Bait” is any food supply exposed, dropped, disturbed, or spread to attract animals.
  • Department of Game Wardens provides free transportation permits.
  • A confirmed game tag on a slain animal might be lawful transportation. Transport authorization tags must contain transporter info. A permit is required when transporting full or part-trapped animals or more than the authorized number.
  • If the sex of a hunted animal determines hunting seasons or custody, it is illegal to change its sex.
  • The cape or scalp (from behind the ears to the base of the snout) and any antlers or horns should be retained until the corpse is frozen, smoked, dried, devoured, or processed commercially. Keep the cape, scalp, antlers, and horns with the animal’s bones. NAC 502.403 exempts you from doing this. Deer, elk, mountain goats, antelopes, and bighorn sheep are affected.
  • Hunting or capturing game animals within a half-mile of a wildlife highway crossing is also prohibited. Wildlife highway crossings let animals cross roads safely.
  • NRS 408.285 and 403.170 make it illegal to fire a gun from a federal, state, major, or general county road.
  • No edible portion of a game bird, animal, fish, or amphibian may be discarded. Carnivore corpses, not heads, antlers, horns, or tusks, may be taken.
  • If a hunter accidentally kills or injures an animal, they must catch it.
  • Hunting, trapping, or fishing on private property is illegal without the proprietor or tenant’s permission. Legally using the land for these reasons requires following NRS 207.220.
  • Some Nevada counties ban discarded antlers until April 30, beginning January 1. Gathering shed antlers in these counties from May 1 to June 30 needs a certificate from ndowlicensing.com.
