I think you might be talking about two different things - the North Pequops has a lot of private land held by IVFR, and there is a wilderness study area in the south end of the Pequops. Wilderness study is slightly different than wilderness in that you can drive on established roads. You won't...

Finally got my 6/7 antelope tag with 7 points! All it took was me moving away from Elko and becoming a NR. Ha! Bet my odds were a lot better last year with 6 points, but I'm not complaining.

Awesome thread! I have twin two year old girls and I can't wait to get them out hunting with me!

I posted a picture of the bull I got on that exact hunt in 2018 in the "Which State/Biggest Bull" thread. Jarbidge has a lot of elk, but you have to work for them. The best advice I can give is to be in shape and ready to hike 5-10 miles a day in some fairly rugged terrain. Send me a PM if you...

No state income tax! I live in Elko, which is quite a bit more rural than where you are headed, but my favorite things about NV are the outdoor opportunities. They might be a little harder to find, but once you do, you don't have to share it with many other people. I have had some of the best...

I taped him at 348 but admittedly could be off either way. The only thing that stopped him from topping 350 was a 36" inside spread.

My first/biggest/only bull so far. NV muzzle loader 2018

Congrats on getting a nice bull! I pulled one out of Jarbidge a few years ago with my muzzy, and that area is a beast! You definitely put the work in and earned it!

I used Cottonwood Ranch to pack out my bull from the muzzy hunt a few years ago. I had a great experience working with them both having all my questions answered ahead of time, and on the pack out. I thought the price was a little steep, but in my mind, I was paying to be able to hunt wherever I...

Congrats Fatrooster! Had that tag a couple years ago and loved it! A lot of miles on the boots, but a lot of elk to go with them. All I got this year was a depredation cow elk in the Rubies. Looking forward to having something to hunt for several months close to home. I still haven't actually...

The buck I got over in Utah was rutting up pretty hard on a doe, but he was the only one we saw doing that.

Depends on what you are looking for. The Star is traditional Basque food and serves some good steak, but is on the high end price-wise. The soup and salad are really good, but I could take or leave the rest of the sides, but there are a lot of them. You won't leave hungry. Toki Ona is...

Congrats! Nice looking buck, nice cutters and I like the curls!

According to my understanding of the rules for a spike in NV, this bull would have been a legal spike. Quite the bull for a spike tag!

Thanks for the suggestion. I'll give that a try.

I don't think the above answer is correct, though it may be. I am talking about the land directly east of Eureka on either side of Highway 6 near Lime Peak and North Hill. When I called the BLM office, they had it marked as private property, so could be that, too. OnX has all the other military...

As cjboz mentioned it won't be very hard to find a doe. There's lots of area to look, and a lot of it will hold deer. If you can take some time to get out and scout the area, which can be as simple is just taking a camping trip to drive some of the roads, just to get familiar with them before...

NDOW decided to let me keep it, so I'm considering it a shed. First elk deadhead I have found!

Good to know. Thanks!

I personally taped this bull at 348 gross. Not an official score by any means, so take it with a grain of salt. You can't see the left side very well in this picture, but it was pretty symmetrical.

Hey All, I have a West Desert Tintic general deer tag. In starting my e-scouting on OnX, I noticed a lot of the land is designated "USA-Division of Property Management". I don't think I have ever ran in to this designation before. Is this considered public land like BLM or Forest Service, or...

Depending on your financial situation, Cottonwood Ranch can help you out a lot. I did a solo, diy muzzy hunt in there last year and paid them to pack my bull out. It was pretty steep at $1200, but they start at $800 if you are on the east side of the wilderness. There's a write up on the second...

LAST EDITED ON May-28-19 AT 01:01PM (MST)[p]The steepness of the area is not an exaggeration, nor is the poor genetics comment. With those two caveats out of the way, there are a lot of deer in the 101 and 102 part of the Rubies/East Humboldts. If you are patient and willing to hike, shouldn't...

I spend a lot of time in the area, and see I a lot of antelope. I have never had an antelope tag, and honestly couldn't tell an average one from a monster, so take whatever I tell you with a grain of salt, but If you want to talk general area, send me a PM and I'll try to help you out.

Guess I'm the only one who's spot didn't get picked clean....not even by me. I went to one of my spots I found last year and found that not only were there a few browns on the ground, there were tons of chalky ones I missed last year.

Here are some from my NV opening weekend: First of the year! Cool Kicker on this guy! The take home between me and 3 buddies:

My experience is limited to northeastern NV, so I can only tell you what I know. Area 6 (061, 062...) is more of an opportunity hunt - but there are always some nice bucks taken by those who know what they are doing or get lucky. Area 10 is mostly the Rubies, but covers a lot of other area...

All depends on what you want. There are a couple archery tags you could probably get first try. If you want a late rifle tag in a good unit, you're going to have to wait a while. Here is a link to the draw odds history: http://www.ndow.org/Hunt/Resources/Bonus_Point_Data/

First off, they do special youth tags for deer. Everything else they go in the same pool as everyone else. Are you willing to travel? I don't know the units around Reno very well, but there are a couple units around Elko that should be pretty easy for a youth to draw, and a good chance of...

Congrats! I have two friends who had that tag and couldn't fill it. It's certainly one you have to work for. There's plenty of elk in the area, but they are in hiding by the time the late tag rolls around.

NDOW puts out some pretty good data. You can download GIS data to put into Google Earth from here that will give you some starting points: http://gis.ndow.nv.gov/ndowdata/

That is pretty cool! Don't know that I have ever seen a "forky" moose before. I shed hunt a lot in northern Elko County, and would not know what to think if I found something like that.

Here's one I saw in 071. Was just standing in a stream munching on some willows. She didn't seem to care at all when we stopped the truck 30 yards away to stare.

Thanks! That first picture was the "ATL". Pretty courteous of him to pile up in such a photogenic pose.

LAST EDITED ON Oct-08-18 AT 07:21AM (MST)[p]It's certainly not as easy as it once was. I work with a guy who had the tag about 10 years ago and he was one of 5 tag holders then. There were something like 110 this year. Having said that, it's still a pretty big area. The only two place that I...

This is the 290 grain I recovered from a bull elk at 86 yards. One shot through the lungs and he only made it about 100 yards.

I taped him out at a gross of 348. I could easily be off either way.

Thanks everyone! I really couldn't be happier with this bull. It was an amazing adventure, and I can't wait to do it again.
