Point Statistics |
Residents and nonresident tag applicants receive bonus points when they are unsuccessful in drawing a tag through the computerized random draw system for all hunts that have a quota set by the Wildlife Commission

The bonus point data below shows how many applicants were successful in drawing a tag in each bonus point category.
Because the draw numbers that determine whether or not a hunter draws a tag are generated randomly, there is no guarantee that a hunter will draw a tag for the unit group of his or her choice just because he or she may have more bonus points then anyone else. Please review Nevada's Bonus Point Guidelines in the Hunting Applications section of the web site to get a better understanding about how the bonus point system works.
Overall, there is a greater percent of maximum bonus-point applicants that draw tags then the percent of applicants in lower bonus point categories. But, as you review the bonus point data you will see that not all of the maximum point applicants draw tags. In fact, even in mule deer hunt unit groups with several hundreds tags, there are maximum point applicants that do not draw a low enough draw number and are not successful.
Bonus points increase a hunter's chances of receiving a low draw number in hopes of drawing a tag, but, unlike a preference point, they do not provide any guarantee of drawing a tag after so many points are accumulated

Resident Bonus Points PDF |
Each table in the 2004 data is labeled with the species and hunt number. The tables are broken down into unit groups available for that hunt.
Under each unit group, the total number of successful versus unsuccessful tag applicants for that unit group is listed.
The “Succ” column is the number of successful applicants that drew a tag by bonus point. The “Unsucc” column is the number of unsuccessful applicants by bonus point who listed that hunt and unit group as their first choice.

For 2003 and 2002, you will see information displayed like "10 of 20". This means that there were 10 successful applicants out of 20 total applicants; a single number without 'of' is the total unsuccessful applicants because no one drew a tag. |
