Trophy big game hunting in Nevada is renowned for its low tag numbers, quality herd management, and vast public lands that produce exceptional animals across several species. Hunters can pursue mule deer, elk, antelope, desert and California bighorn sheep, mountain goat, black bear, mountain lion, and as of 2025, moose. The state uses a bonus point draw system, giving all applicants a chance while rewarding persistence. Limited-entry tags—especially for sheep and elk—are among the hardest to draw in the West, but they offer world-class trophy potential. Specialty options like Silver State, Heritage (auction), and Dream (raffle) tags allow access to premier units and extended seasons. Weapon types are strictly regulated by season, and successful hunts often involve remote, rugged terrain. With careful planning and patience, Nevada can provide a once-in-a-lifetime trophy hunting experience.
