CO and NM done. That New Mexico is painful but I'm told it's refunded if not drawn. If I draw both I'm gonna have to somehow hide a hunt from the wife I can hear it now - so why did you take your bow and hiking boots on that business trip again?

Nevada is a tough pill to swallow,but when you do draw out it is a quality over quantity state for most part. Big bulls, bucks and rams.Last edited by Texans42; 03-23-2018, 05:52 AM.

Nevada isn’t so bad if you plan correctly and put in every year. As long as you have a valid license at application then you are fine. So just pay attention to when you apply and you can use one license for two application years.
For instance, this is a year that I have to buy a license so I will wait until a day or two before the deadline to apply. Then next year I can use the same license as long as I apply before it expires.
That certainly helps drop the price of NV. In fact, NV is a no brainer, must apply state for me. There are issues with every state and their draw system but I actually like NV.
You want to talk about wasting money.......try WY sheep and moose, or MT deer and elk, or anything in Oregon or California. Hell, the biggest one that I put in for that screws you in multiple ways is Idaho. You have to buy an expensive license, pay an access fee AND front the tag fees just to apply. I’ll be fronting $6,514.25 to Idaho and the cost to apply (what I won’t get back if I don’t draw) is $209. And that’s just applying for sheep, goats and moose (no elk, deer or antelope).
At least when I fronted $6,285 to NM I knew that I’d get all but $65 back if I don’t draw anything.
There are several “cost to apply” states that are about the same as Nevada. On my applications this year AZ, NV, ID and WY are all over $200 in cost to apply. And WY is just for deer, elk, antelope and goat.

You won’t be fronting that much to Idaho. In Idaho you have to pick one of the big three. You can apply for deer and elk. Or one of the big 3 goat sheep or moose.
I knew you could double up years on a Utah license but didn’t know you could in Nevada. I’ll look into that.
