Nevada’s rugged backcountry is home to some of the finest mule deer hunting in the West—where steep alpine basins meet wide-open desert country and mature bucks roam. Hunters looking for a true western adventure can take advantage of the restricted non-resident guided drawing system, which greatly improves the odds of drawing a coveted Nevada mule deer tag. This special draw gives hunters an increased chance to pursue trophy deer in some of the most productive and scenic terrain the state has to offer.

Guided hunts are offered in premier units such as 111-113, 114-115, 121, 131–134, and 221–223, each known for exceptional deer genetics, diverse terrain, and remarkable trophy potential. From the high alpine slopes of eastern Nevada to the sagebrush basins of the south, every unit offers a unique challenge and the opportunity to harvest an exceptional buck. Hunters are matched with experienced guides who know every canyon, ridge, and migration corridor these deer use throughout the season.

With consistently high success rates, this seasoned team has earned a reputation for producing results. Their deep understanding of each unit—built through decades of scouting, guiding, and living in Nevada’s deer country—allows them to locate and pattern mature bucks that most hunters never see. Whether glassing distant ridges at sunrise or tracking deer through hidden valleys, their commitment to success and passion for the hunt show in every guided trip.

This is more than just a deer hunt—it’s a complete western hunting experience. Hunters can expect personalized guidance, breathtaking scenery, and the thrill of pursuing truly wild mule deer in their natural, untamed environment.
