If you failed to draw a tag in the main draw or even if you drew a tag but would still love the chance to go on a desert bighorn or bull elk hunt, the Nevada Dream Tag may be just what you’re looking for.
The Nevada Dream Tag Program is a raffle that allows resident and nonresident sportsmen a chance at the hunt of a lifetime while also contributing to Nevada’s wildlife habitat. The tags are similar to other western states’ raffle tags and “hunt of a lifetime” tags.
Five dream tags will be awarded in 2015: one for Elk, California Bighorn Sheep, Desert Bighorn Sheep, Antelope and Mule Deer. All that is required to get started in the raffle is to first purchase a Resource Enhancement Stamp (RES) for $10. Once you have your stamp, you can purchase an unlimited number of raffle tickets for each species available for only $5 each. You can purchase both the RES Stamp and the raffle tickets at NVDreamTag.org.
The money raised through the sale of the Dream Tags goes directly to desperately needed wildlife rehabilitation. In the past 20 years, wildfires in Nevada have ravaged more than 13 million acres of crucial habitat. In only two years, the Nevada Dream Tag Program has been able to donate close to $600,000 to habitat projects.
One of the best aspects of this raffle is the ability to purchase tickets for your family and friends. Anyone can go online and purchase their favorite hunter chances at the hunt of a lifetime for their birthday, holiday or any special occasion.
For those not interested in hunting, the Resource Enhancement Stamp can be purchased by anyone that wants to contribute to the preservation, protection, management and restoration of game and its habitat.
Tickets for the Nevada Dream Tag raffle are available now and will be sold until June 30. The winners will be announced in early July.
