Guided Hunting

Nonresident Guided Hunt Deer Tags

There are more than 100 licensed master guides in Nevada that provide guide services for big game, game birds, game fish, and unprotected wildlife. Different hunters often desire to hire a guide for different reasons, ranging from a novice hunter who is a little uncomfortable with trekking into the remote Nevada outback, to an experienced hunter, who draws the tag of a lifetime, like a desert bighorn or bull elk tag.

When booking a guided hunt be sure that the master guide you hire is licensed to provide guide services in Nevada and be sure that you are provided with a contract before services are provided. If you are a nonresident of Nevada you may participate in the nonresident restricted guided deer draw, a program that allots a number of tags specifically for a guided deer hunt.

The restricted nonresident guided hunt is available to anyone not a resident of Nevada who will hunt mule deer with the assistance of a licensed master guide or subguide. A guide must accompany restricted nonresident hunters in the field at all times and sign off on all restricted nonresident guided hunt applications before the draw is conducted.

(Refer to NRS 502.149)

The restricted nonresident guided hunt has a separate draw and application period that is held in February/March of each year. Immediate family members of the master guide or sub-guide are prohibited from applying for this hunt. (Refer to CGR 495-R-176-10 and NAC 502.4235). Tags available for the restricted nonresident guided mule deer hunt are based on a percentage of tags issued to nonresidents during the previous year.
