Nevadas drawing odds very much favor those with many bonus points,as they square the number of points you have, 20 times twenty is 400 chances to draw, 1 times 1 is 1, starting now, in five years you will have twenty five numbers in the hat,I will have six hundred and twenty five in the hat. The farther away a person is from when the draw systen started ( twenty years now) the less chance you have to draw a tag in comparison to those that got in early, thats especially true for very hard to draw limited tags. Another problen with Nevada is they really push to get the most people they can to apply for everything, easy credit card apps, allowing applicants to apply for all three species of Sheep ect. Its also an expensive state to apply in, with high app fees and a high licence fee. I would have to disagree with yukon dall on the big bang for the buck statement. Unless you are young and have plenty of throw away money, it wouldn't be my top state for a beginner to start applying in.
