2023 was a really good year for big antelope in Nevada. There were Boone and Crockett antelope harvested in a pile of different units throughout the state. The statewide antelope population is down as the state had been in a drought for a handful of years. The last couple of years have been really good for antelope hunters, but the big bucks are coming from more non-traditional trophy antelope areas. Last year, there were a couple giant bucks taken in the 84-88" range.

The Northwestern Nevada antelope herd is still doing poorly compared to what those herds were like in the past. The populations and trophy quality are way down. In most of those units, you are going to have to work extremely hard just to find a 75-78" buck. Due to the genetics, there is always the possibility of a giant, but overall, they are not producing trophy antelope. Fortunately, the rest of the state is picking up the slack and producing some quality bucks. The northeastern and central antelope units have been doing really well with numbers and quality bucks. Hunters in these units are going to have to know what they are looking for in a trophy buck and be prepared to pass a lot of average bucks.
Nevada grows the biggest bucks on years when they have a mild winter. As of the middle of March and with how mild Nevada’s winter has been, we are expecting an above average year for horn growth. This year is shaping up to be another good to great year as the antelope are already out feeding on all the spring green up. 2024 would be a great year to have a Nevada antelope tag in your pocket.
If you are after a book buck and don’t have a lot of time to scout and hunt then we recommend sticking with our top units – 067, 076, and 161. If you have some time, then almost all of the units in the table will produce 80"+ bucks in 2024. If you want better draw odds and a fun hunt, then look at the draw odds table and pick an easier-to-draw unit. All units will produce nice bucks and have enough public land to have a good hunt.
