Frequently Asked Questions

What are the current draw odds for Nevada Elk Unit 221 - 223?
The most recent published odds are 4.4% for resident applicants in 2025 — 2,708 applicants for 120 tags on the Rifle Late Season bull/buck only hunt. The nonresident pool for that same hunt drew at 1% (15 tags, 1,506 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 Elk Unit 221 - 223?
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 Elk Unit 221 - 223?
Competition in the resident pool for the Rifle Late Season bull/buck only hunt looks increasing. Odds ran 5.8% in 2023 and 4.4% in 2025. The other pool can move the other way, so check both tables.
