Tag Fees

In Nevada big game seasons are established for antelope, black bear, deer, elk, bighorn sheep, moose, mountain goat, and mountain lion. Tags for all game species, except mountain lion, are awarded through a random, computerized tag draw process held in late May. Mountain lion tags are available for purchase over the counter at Nevada license agents, at Department offices statewide, or online through the NDOW licensing portal. Mountain lion season is open year-round.

First-Come, First-Served

The First-Come, First-Served (FCFS) queue for hunting tags will be accessible online in July through the NDOW licensing website. This queue offers NDOW customers the ability to purchase any tags remaining after the second draw or any returned tags without an eligible alternate. Waiting periods and bonus-point costs apply for FCFS tags.

This fund allows members of the public and non-profit organizations to donate money to cover the cost of youth combination (fishing/hunting) licenses to make sure the cost of a license is not a barrier to kids wanting enjoy the outdoors in Nevada. To learn more about this opportunity for young hunters, visit the Nevada Youth License Fund information page on the Nevada Department of Wildlife website by searching for “Nevada Youth License Fund.”
