Nevada Hunting Seasons Information and Regulations<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

*All information listed below is disclosed based on research we have conducted. We do our best to ensure that all information is up to date and accurate. However, rules and regulations are changing every day. Please make sure to verify your state-specific regulations prior to your hunt.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Nevada, there are more than just the Las Vegas Strip and desert climates to explore. Hunting can be a great activity in Nevada, with a variety of game available. Deer <\/a>and antelope are the most commonly hunted species, while elk, bighorn sheep and mountain goat offer more of a challenge for experienced hunters. The state also offers numerous public lands where hunting is allowed. The Nevada Department of Wildlife sets regulations for the season, which includes a daily bag limit and special restrictions. Hunters are also required to purchase a valid hunting license before they can legally hunt in Nevada. Nonresidents may need additional permits depending on the type of game they plan to hunt. In addition to the regular season, there are also two statewide youth seasons that give young hunters the chance to learn hunting techniques and develop a respect for the outdoors. During these weekends, hunters are allowed the same bag limit as adults but must be accompanied by an adult mentor. Finally, there is an archery season during which all game may still be taken according to regulations, albeit with different restrictions than during the regular season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
