Drop Camp into the Ruby's

Oakbuck · Apr 4, 2004

Can anyone refer me to someone who would do a drop camp into the Ruby Mountains in Nevada? There are three of us looking at a resident muzzleloader buck hunt this year if we draw.

Thanks in advance.

Oakbuck,
No need to pay someone to do a drop camp, with the low numbers
of tags on the muzz. hunt, you can have a great hunt from any
public access point. if I was you, I would just do some homework and locate some jump off points and set up your own camp and hunt from there. If you kill something early in the hunt and the
weather is hot, and it will be, and you don't get packed out for three or four days what you gonna do? I will be happy to help you any way I can, I'll even get you some names and phone numbers if you would like.

Thanks for the info. The canyon I had in mind we muzz hunted several years ago, backpacking about 5 miles to get there. Last I heard, the trip is now about 10 miles due to closure of the trailhead we used. Getting the meat out is something that would have to be worked out with an outfitter before hand. Wes, I'll give you a call. NVMDF, I'll send you a private message. Thanks!

One thing I forgot to mentioned when we talked earlier is that we have the exclusive permit to guide in that territory. Our permit extends from Lamoille Canyon following the crest trail to Harrison Pass on the west side of the range. The canyon you want to hunt is in our territory. If anyone else offers to pack you in for a fee they will be doing it illegaly
