Nevada Hunting License Cost 2026: Fees, Deer & Turkey Permits

A year costs $38 for residents and $155 for nonresidents.

Nevada sells nonresidents no unbundled hunting-only license — only the fishing-bundled Combination — so that $155 product (not a cheaper apprentice-only option) is treated as the nonresident base price here. A Nevada hunting license by itself only covers upland game and waterfowl — big game (deer, elk, antelope, bear, etc.) needs a tag on top of it, obtained mostly through a draw process (or via landowner vouchers, First-Come-First-Served leftover tags, or third-party auctions/raffles). Unlike New Mexico, NDOW does publish one flat resident and one flat nonresident price per species rather than quality/GMU-tiered pricing, so a Deer permits section is included below — but the price only applies once a tag is actually drawn or otherwise obtained, not as an over-the-counter purchase. A nonresident-only Restricted Guided Deer tag ($300, requires a licensed guide) is left out for the same reason South Carolina's guide-only options were: it's a different product from the standard tag most hunters compare against. Every big game species application carries its own separate, non-refundable application fee (NDOW's own page lists this at $3 for residents; a third-party regulations aggregator lists $10, which appears to actually be NDOW's $10 duplicate-tag fee misattributed — no nonresident application-fee figure could be confirmed, so none is asserted here). No standalone Nevada state waterfowl stamp could be confirmed — HIP registration and the Federal Duck Stamp appear to be the only migratory-bird requirements. Left out: the Mountain Lion, Antelope, Black Bear, Bighorn Sheep, Elk, Rocky Mountain Goat, and Moose tags (species outside this site's silos) and several $15 Specialty Combination licenses (Serviceman, Severely Disabled, Disabled Veteran) that mirror the Senior Specialty price with different eligibility documentation.
