Frequently Asked Questions

What are the current draw odds for Nevada Bighorn Sheep Unit 268?

The most recent published odds are 4.1% for resident applicants in 2025 — 2,212 applicants for 90 tags on the Rifle Mid Season ewe only hunt. The nonresident pool for that same hunt drew at 1.5% (10 tags, 662 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 Bighorn Sheep Unit 268?

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 Bighorn Sheep Unit 268?

Competition in the resident pool for the Rifle Mid Season ewe only hunt looks decreasing or stable. Odds ran 3.6% in 2023 and 4.1% in 2025. The other pool can move the other way, so check both tables.
