This year starts out for me like it does for many others. I have been debating on what to apply for. It is a little simpler for me because I only apply in one state and only apply for two areas in that state, and only for one species. The state is Nevada and I love to hunt the Ruby Mountains (area 10) or area 6 because that is where I grew up. The species I apply for is mule deer and have been doing so since I was old enough to apply. I have hunted many times there and have only taken one deer and that was in 2008. The only debate I have this year is if I want to try my luck at archery hunting. I have never archery hunted before, but it is something I have always wanted to do. I started shooting a bow a few years ago while living in Montana, but my archery hunting hopes were put on the back burner as I drew a rifle tag in area 10. I did take a decent, heavy 4x4 that year. The following year my archery hunt was again put on hold as I drew a rifle tag in Oregon and came up empty handed. I would also like to archery hunt elk in Montana this year. So my season starts with the application process in Nevada and I am still undecided if I want to try for an archery tag, I have until April 18 to make up my mind. The tag in Montana is an over the counter tag so no application process there. Just need to get motivated and start getting in shape and shooting my bow again. I am fairly new to posting on this site although I have followed it for some time now, so once I figure out how to post pictures I will post some of my area 10 rifle buck from 2008. Best of luck to all those applying to limited draw areas.
