What hunters look for in Nevada
Nearly all big-game hunting here runs through a limited-entry draw, so hunters lease private ground to secure access, water and a place to stage near the units they draw. Mule deer and pronghorn are the most common reasons to lease, with elk and bighorn sheep as premium draws, and chukar in the rocky foothills is a favorite bonus.
The Ruby Mountains and the ranges around Elko in the northeast, the mountains of White Pine and Eureka counties, and the many isolated Great Basin ranges across the state are the prime country.
When hunters want to be on your land
Archery mule deer generally opens in August and firearm deer seasons run in October, all through the limited-entry draw. Elk, pronghorn and sheep are also draw-only with fall seasons, and chukar runs into winter.
Seasons, licenses and regulations are set by the state and change every year; treat this as background, not official information. Some states also have rules for landowners who lease hunting rights.

Leasing your Nevada land, answered
- Who would be hunting my land in Nevada?
- A HuntingLeaseUSA member with a paid membership, booking under their own name, not an anonymous reply to a classified ad. In Nevada, the hunters who lease private land are mainly mule deer, pronghorn and chukar hunters. On a season lease, one party holds the ground for the season, bound by your rules.
- How do I get paid for a hunting lease in Nevada?
- The hunter pays us when they book, so you never chase anyone for money. We keep our fee and pay your share to your bank account on our regular payout run after the month the access period starts. There is no fee to be listed.
- What about liability when hunters are on my Nevada land?
- The hunter who books signs the Access Agreement, with your rules in it, and the Liability Waiver at checkout, before they pay. Check with your own insurer or attorney about what applies to a landowner who leases hunting rights in Nevada.
