Nevada Mule Deer — Unit 291

Nevada Mule Deer Unit 291 draw odds, tags, and applicants by year — resident and nonresident pools shown separately. Nevada's report publishes no point thresholds.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the current draw odds for Nevada Mule Deer Unit 291?
The most recent published odds are 6.6% for resident applicants in 2025 — 763 applicants for 50 tags on the Rifle Late Season bull/buck only hunt. The nonresident pool for that same hunt drew at 3.8% (3 tags, 78 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 Mule Deer Unit 291?
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 Mule Deer Unit 291?
Competition in the resident pool for the Rifle Late Season bull/buck only hunt looks increasing. Odds ran 7.1% in 2023 and 6.6% in 2025. The other pool can move the other way, so check both tables.
