Ely. NV Rainfall

[Ramhunter]

Guys,
Just a quick question. A friend of mine and I drew mule deer tags for Units 221-223(early), near Ely. I understand that antler development is dependent, in part, on rain fall. Just curious as to how the spring has gone so far. Normal precipitation?, below normal?, or what? Thanks for any insights.

I live and Ely and we had some late snow this year that will help the deer population and antler growth a ton but it is still now as wet as desired but should be a great year for some book muleys all over the state of Nevada.

The antler growth in 221-223 isn't really that dependant on rainfall. It has little effect on those deer. But the snowtell sites south of Ely were reading %65 and spring rain has been average at best.
