Important Information
The Process to Obtain an Alternate Tag is Changing In 2012 over 600 tags were returned to the Department prior to the start of the season. Most of these returned tags were not reissued. In an effort to give move hunters the opportunity to hunt big game, we are changing the process! During the online application process an applicant would affirm their willingness to be an alternate and accept an alternate tag by marking a check-off box on each species they are applying for. For example: When someone applies for an antelope tag, they will be able to check a box that affirms If I am unsuccessful I will accept an alternate tag if it becomes available and (the/ my) charge card will be charged immediately. If you are unsuccessful in drawing an antelope tag you are automatically on the alternate list for the choices on your application. To learn more check out NAC 502.4175 Application for tag or bonus point; fees (Page 12). Pre-Register Your Hunter Education The Department offers pre-registration of hunter education. The Department recommends hunters check to see if their hunter education records are on file. You can do so by going to www.huntnevada.com. Call 1-800-576-1020 to confirm your faxed records are received before April 8, 2013. Changes to Party Applications Starting in 2013 party applications will be allowed for mule deer, antlerless elk and horns shorter than ears antelope. There are separate forms for these hunts. Learn more on page 19. Check Out the Nevada Dream Tags The Nevada Dream Tags Program (page 47) is a raffle that allows resident and nonresident sportsmen a chance at the hunt of a lifetime, while contributing to wildlife habitat restoration in the Silver State. To learn more or to purchase Nevada Dream Tags go to www.NVDreamTag.org. Hunt Unit Advisories In an effort to improve your hunting experience, the Nevada Department of Wildlife has put together a table for hunter access restrictions and other advisories for specific hunts and unit groups. This information may affect your decision on where to apply this year. You can find the 2013 Hunt Unit Advisory on the NDOW website at www.ndow.org. Postcards Hunters who applied online last year will receive a notification postcard reminding them it is time to apply online for big game. Hunters will be able to go to www.huntnevada.com to look up their bonus points and species eligibility and access an online link to download this application regulation brochure. Hunt Unit Changes Several changes have been made to the hunt unit boundaries this year. Hunters are advised to closely check the Hunt Unit Reference Map found in the middle of this publication. Specific changes can be found on the boundary unit descriptions on the back of the map and a brief explanation of each change will be included on affected hunt unit advisories found on the NDOW website.

such as the priming powder or the unfired primer or percussion cap, is removed. 2. During a type of hunt that is restricted to muzzle-loading firearms, it is unlawful for a person hunting under the authority of a tag for such a hunt to carry in the field a firearm or longbow and arrow except for: (a) A muzzle-loading rifle or a muzzle-loading musket with the characteristics set forth in subsection 1; or (b) A flintlock or percussion handgun. However, it is unlawful to use such a handgun to hunt a big game mammal. 3. During a type of hunt in which the use of any legal weapon is authorized by a regulation of the Commission, a person may hunt a big game mammal with a muzzle-loading rifle or muzzle-loading musket only if: (a) The muzzle-loading rifle or muzzle-loading musket has: (1) A single barrel of caliber .45 or larger; and (2) Open sights, peep sights or a rifle scope. (b) The person uses a lead ball, a lead bullet, a semijacketed bullet or a metal alloy bullet that expands. A sabot round may be used.

NAC 503.142 Hunting big-game mammal with firearm The Board of Wildlife Commissioners hereby establishes the following exceptions to paragraph (b) of subsection 1 of NRS 503.150: 1. During a type of hunt that is restricted to muzzle-loading firearms, a person may hunt a big game mammal only with a muzzle-loading rifle or muzzle-loading musket, and may use only a lead ball, a lead bullet, a semi-jacketed bullet or a metal alloy bullet that expands. The use of smokeless powder is prohibited. Only black powder or a black powder substitute such as Pyrodex or Triple 7 may be used as a propellant. A sabot round may be used. The muzzle-loading rifle or muzzleloading musket must have the following characteristics: (a) A wheel lock, matchlock or flintlock ignition system, or a percussion ignition system that uses a primer or percussion cap; (b) A single barrel of caliber .45 or larger; and (c) (Except as otherwise provided in NAC 503.146) Open sights or peep sights. The use of a sight that is operated or powered by a battery, electronics or a radioactive isotope such as tritium is prohibited.

Bonus Point Program Guidelines Hunters will again have the option to apply for a bonus point without applying for a tag for a species. Participation requires a nonrefundable $10 application fee for each bonus point only application, and the purchase of the hunting or combination hunting and fishing license. An applicant cannot receive a refund on their hunting license. There is a special bonus point code for each hunt and it is listed above the season table. Resident and nonresident tag applicants receive a bonus point for each hunt category that has a quota set by the Wildlife Commission when they are unsuccessful in drawing a tag through the computerized random draw system. Bonus points are awarded by specific species categories, each encompassing all separate weapons hunts available in that category. Those categories are: antlered mule deer; antlerless mule deer; mule deer depredation; antelope horns longer than ears; antelope horns shorter than ears; bull elk; spike bull elk; cow elk; depredation elk; desert (Nelson) bighorn sheep; California bighorn sheep; Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep; mountain goat and bear. Bonus points cannot be transferred to another person, or into another species category. Applicants are only able to accumulate one bonus point per species category each year. So if you applied for an antlered deer any legal weapon tag and were unsuccessful, and then applied for an antlered deer archery tag in a separate drawing, and were unsuccessful, you still only accrue one point because these are both in the antlered deer category. However, if you apply for an antlered deer any legal weapon tag and are unsuccessful, and then apply for a antlerless tag and are unsuccessful, you would receive a bonus point for each because they are in two different categories-antlered deer and antlerless deer. Any bonus points accrued in the junior hunt will automatically transfer to the antlered deer category at the time the junior hunter becomes ineligible for the junior hunt by either age, or after 5 years of application for the junior hunt. Those applying as a party hunt will have their points averaged (total points of all hunters in the party, divided by the number of hunters) and rounded to the closest whole number. Bonus points are squared by species category, resulting in the number of draw numbers that an individual hunter or hunt party will receive in that drawing. A hunters bonus points revert to zero in a particular species category when he is successful at obtaining a tag or fails to apply for that species category for two consecutive years. If a person requests a hunting license refund, they will not earn bonus points for the current year. NAC 502.4188 Bonus points: Categories of species 1. Except as otherwise provided in subsection 2, any bonus points awarded by the Department pursuant to the bonus point program must be awarded in one of the following categories of species: (a) Antlered mule deer; (b) Antlerless mule deer; (c) Mule deer, either antlered or antlerless; (d) Antlered Rocky Mountain elk; (e) Antlerless Rocky Mountain elk;
(f) Rocky Mountain elk, either antlered or antlerless; (g) Spike Rocky Mountain elk; (h) Pronghorn antelope whose horns are longer than their ears; (i) Pronghorn antelope whose horns are shorter than their ears; (j) Rams, from one of the following subspecies: (1) Nelson bighorn sheep; (2) California bighorn sheep; or (3) Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep; or (k) Mountain goats; or (l) Black bear 2. Bonus points awarded by the Department pursuant to the bonus point program for wild turkey and depredation hunts must be awarded by hunt number. NAC 502.4187 Bonus points: Award and accumulation; effect of refund 1. Except as otherwise provided in NAC 502.416 to 502.4225, inclusive, an applicant to obtain a tag for a season who is unsuccessful, or an applicant for a bonus point who does not wish to obtain a tag and is applying for the sole purpose of earning a bonus point, must be awarded a bonus point for: (a) The hunt number of the species for which he applied if he applied for a: (1) Tag to hunt wild turkey; (2) Depredation hunt tag; or (3) Bonus point for a tag described in subparagraph (1) or (2); or (b) The category of the species for which he applied if he applied for a tag to hunt deer, elk, mountain goat, antelope, bighorn sheep or bear, or for a bonus point for such a tag. Regardless of the number of applications to obtain a tag or bonus point for a season submitted by a person, the Department shall not award him more than one bonus point per season for each species or category of a species for which the person applied. 2. Except as otherwise provided in subsection 3, the bonus points awarded to a person accumulate until he is successful in drawing a tag for a season for that species or category of a species or he fails to apply for a season for 2 consecutive calendar years during which that type of hunt for a season
10
receives a number of additional draw numbers that is equal to the number of bonus points that he has accumulated squared, as expressed in the following equation: n=b2 where n is the number of additional draw numbers and b is the number of bonus points. The number of additional draw numbers determines the number of draw numbers for the species or category of the species for which the application was submitted. The applicants lowest randomly assigned draw number is the number used for the drawing. 2. Except as otherwise provided in subsection 5, bonus points accumulated by a person for a species or category of species cannot be transferred to any other person or any other species or category of species. 3. An applicant may transfer bonus points to himself or herself as a resident or nonresident of this State, as appropriate, if: (a) The applicant changes his or her state of residence; (b) The applicant requests in writing that the Department transfer those bonus points; and (c) The Department approves the request for the transfer. Bonus points transferred pursuant to this subsection apply to the same species or category of species to which they applied before the transfer. 4. The number of bonus points applicable to applications submitted by a group pursuant to NAC 502.4185 for tags is the quotient of the total number of points held by the members of the group divided by the number of members in the group, rounded to the nearest whole number. 5. If a person has applied for a junior hunt for deer for 5 years or becomes ineligible to participate in a junior hunt for deer because of his or her age, each unused bonus point accumulated by that person for a junior hunt for deer automatically transfers to the category for antlered mule deer. The provisions of this subsection do not apply to a bonus point accumulated by the person for a junior hunt for deer in a year in which the person also accumulated a bonus point in the category for antlered mule deer.

- BEFORE YOU APPLY It is the responsibility of the applicant to do his or her homework on the hunter choices chosen on their application. For some hunts there are access restrictions, low hunter success compared to statewide averages, and variable big game densities and trophy quality compared to the past. The Department maintains several informational resources on our website at www.ndow.org to help with doing your homework including: Hunter Information Sheets (facts on terrain, vegetation, land ownership, hunter access, map references, local services and recommended hunting areas), hunt application advisories, big game draw odds, hunter success rates, harvest point class and bighorn sheep age and scores.
