Nevada Mountain Goat Hunting Units & Draw Odds
3 units · 100.0% avg hunter success
Nevada's mountain goat draw uses a bonus-point system where every application enters you for a chance to draw, and your bonus points increase your odds each year you don't draw. Nonresidents compete for 10% of available tags across three units with hunt data on file. Applications open March 23 and close May 13, with results announced May 29. You'll pay a $10 application fee plus a $1200 tag fee if drawn—significantly more than the resident tag fee of $120, but that's the nonresident cost statewide. This page breaks down the units where mountain goat hunts happen, showing you what the draw has historically looked like and helping you decide if Nevada fits your western goat strategy.
