Just as bad, if not worse on the eastern side. The deer got hammered last winter. Some areas on the eastern side had close to 0% fawn survival so it will be several years before it improves. If you already know 39 and live close by I wouldn't waste the gas and time trying the eastern side of the...

+1 to above posts. Hunted deer in both unit 21 and right next door in 22, both 2nd and 3rd rifle seasons and every time I go I'm surprised by the amount of elk hunters but the lack of elk. I've only seen two elk total over my last 4 times hunting around there. I thought maybe I was just missing...

Yeah that is the biggest one I have ever seen killed in velvet too! ... or did you just mean the biggest you saw on your hunt? Obviously your hunt ended well but anything else you'd like to share about the hunt?

Congrats on your bull! I'd love to see some pictures. PM sent

Thanks for the reply. I'm glad to hear they are starting to get vocal. That should help to locate them and make for a fun hunt.

Anybody back from hunting around the Jarbidge? Any success on archery elk? Were most of the Bulls in the wilderness or spread out into other areas as well? I've got the muzzleloader tag that opens Friday but I'm not going to be able to get there until Sunday morning and the anticipation is...

Good numbers of deer, there is some higher ground on the south-southeast side but the deer can be spread throughout the unit, even on the earlier hunts. Lots of roads and often times the best strategy is just to cover ground. Hit as many glassing points as possible. Good luck and keep us...

Unless you are looking for a campground with hookups there are camp spots everywhere in the unit. Just figure out where you want to hunt and look for a good spot close by. There are some campgrounds on the northern part of the unit and more cell coverage. Cell service is very limited throughout...

Patriot, that's great that you were able to draw that tag the year after you were in there deer hunting. You got the benefit of scouting for you hunt and during the same time frame as your hunt. I've got a good buddy who's supposed to go with me and just talked to another guy with a horse and a...

LAST EDITED ON Jun-07-17 AT 09:38AM (MST)[p]Finally got a elk tag in NV and now I'm feeling a little overwhelmed to make the most of it. Always thought if I drew this OIL tag for me, I'd try to scrape together enough $$ for a guide but with the seemingly high guide fees in this area and a son...

I think this time of year the only thing that really gives you an idea of the finished product is mass. If you've got the start of a good wide frame with good mass as well and the big balls on the end hes most likely going to be a solid buck. If he doesn't look to have good mass, especially as...

Anyone hunt 21 2nd recently? How was the hunt? Any tips other than "pray for snow and if warm and dry go high"? How about the winter? I know Gunnison to the south and Wyoming to the north got hammered this winter but it looks like this part of CO just had a slightly above normal snowfall. Can...

My Grandpa, Dad and uncle used to hunt 21 in the 80's and 90's before it went to draw and I was able to make one trip in the early 90's before my Grandpa passed away. We started going 22 3rd season when it went draw because we knew the area and could hunt it every other year in the early to mid...

Used to be a good 3rd season hunt for the 1 or 2 Non-res points it took to draw it. Hunted it three times in the early 2000's but I haven't hunted it since 08 when the point creep started. I liked being able to hunt it every other year but not an area I would want to burn 8+ points on...

Not even close to illegal Dirty! Never seen anything in any states regulations that says you can't pay for a hunting partners expenses. Hell I've even bought a buddy's tag online for him because he didn't have a credit card and he just payed me back in cash. Not sure if dirty misunderstood what...
