Nevada deer hunt application questions

I wasn't able to get all the way through my Nevada deer app tonight, which at least gives me a chance to ask for some clarification before proceeding.
1. Do you really get 5 choices? And has anybody ever pulled a tag with a 5th choice?
2. If you don't want a bonus point, do you not have to buy the hunting license first? I think that's how I read it.
3. How will I know that the Department received my Hunter Ed # so I can finish the application?
4. Is there any area you would not recommend hunting for whatever reason. I'm mostly looking at central/eastern units with draw odds in the 1:7-1:9 range for the early season because I actually want to draw a tag.
Anything else I should know?

Thanks

Nevada deer hunt application questions

1. Yes, you really get 5 choices. Some areas will get you a 5th choice tag.

2. I believe you can select an option that says "purchase license only if successful" Other than that, if you want a point you must buy the license.

3. go to http://www.huntnevada.com On the left side if the screen is a link to "hunter education look up"

4. I don't know if you have points, but in general Nevada has much better odds for archery or muzzle hunts (like most states, I suppose). I would avoid unit 231 simply because you will not draw there. It's a great unit, but everyone wants to hunt it. The northeast part of the state has some great hunt areas (Jarbidge Wilderness).

Give me a call if you need additional help...I live in Nevada so I have a pretty good idea of what you might be after...

Hunting Tip: Elk Calling Tips

Bring them in on a string. I love this term, if you want to be successful on calling in Elk, try not to just sound like the other caller. We all laugh at each other when we are practicing Elk calling at home or while camping. When I first started calling in Elk, I had no idea what i was doing and it's funny how many I could call in. The biggest Bull that I have called in to date was actually my first. I was making cow calls and screwing it up big time. But it's obvious I didn't screw up...
