LAST EDITED ON Jul-04-12 AT 08:40PM (MST)[p]Just getting some thoughts on pottential hunting spots for the rubies. I have narrowed my hunting area down to either verdi lake or the headwaters of thorpe creek for early archery mule deer, if anyone has any information about this area such as hunting pressure, animal densities, or water availability it would be much appriciated. Also i am wondering if there is public trailheads at the bottom of these canyons or will i have to come in from soldier creek?

Please PM or email me at [email protected]

Thankyou in advance for any information divulged.

Call the Humboldt-Toiyabe Nat. Forest Office in Elko at 775-738-5171 and ask the clerk that you would like to BUY a map of the Humboldt-Toiyabe Nat. Forest "RUBY MOUNTAINS RANGER DISTRICT"
It shows all the public access points from both sides and there are more on the east side of Ruby's that the west.

1 option of hiking in to Verdi Lake is to go from the terraces picnic area in Lamoille canyon. not sure if they allow overnight parking in that area but it might be worth a shot.

The hike into Verdi from terraces is a beast. 2000ft of gain in about as short of a distance as you can gain 2000ft without it being completely vertical. bring a fly rod if you plan on going up there as the fishing for cutthroats in verdi is amazing.
