Frequently Asked Questions

What are the current draw odds for Nevada Antelope Unit 161 - 162?

The most recent published odds are 4.2% for resident applicants in 2025 — 431 applicants for 18 tags on the Rifle Early Season buck only hunt. The nonresident pool for that same hunt drew at 1.3% (2 tags, 154 applicants). Nevada publishes applicants and tags but no point threshold with these numbers, so this is the odds for the whole pool — not what a given point total would draw.

How many preference/bonus points do I need for Nevada Antelope Unit 161 - 162?

We won't guess. The Nevada report behind these tables gives applicants, tags, and the odds that fall out of them — it carries no point thresholds, so nothing here can tell you what your points would draw. Points still matter when you apply; check the agency's own preference-point report for the cutoff, and read the resident and nonresident rows below separately.

Is the competition increasing for Nevada Antelope Unit 161 - 162?

Competition in the resident pool for the Rifle Early Season buck only hunt looks decreasing or stable. Odds ran 3% in 2023 and 4.2% in 2025. The other pool can move the other way, so check both tables.
