Nevada draw points, explained

Squared bonus points

Nevada uses squared bonus points: your points are squared to decide how many extra draw numbers you get, so each added point helps more than the last. The thing that matters most: you must hold an active Nevada hunting license and apply (or buy a point) in each category at least once every two years, or your points go back to zero.
