Frequently Asked Questions

Can I hunt any unit in the group?
Yes — a 131 - 134 tag is valid across all included units.
Where are the current quotas?
NDOW publishes quotas annually in the Big Game Quotas commission regulation.
What elk draw group covers Unit 131?
Unit 131 elk tags draw from NDOW's 108/131/132 unit group, covering southern Elko County's Independence Range elk habitat. A drawn tag is valid across all three units in the group.
How does Unit 131 compare to the Ruby Mountains elk units for draw difficulty?
Unit 131's 108/131/132 group likely requires fewer bonus points than the 062/064/066-068 Ruby Mountains elk group due to lower applicant demand. Hunters seeking a more achievable Nevada elk draw — without sacrificing quality — should look closely at the 108/131/132 statistics.
