NV 221-223 Mid Rifle Antlered Deer

BelleauWood18 · May 31, 2021

New to the forum, looking for where to start in the mid season rifle hunt. Never hunted these units before. Been applying 5 years and finally drew. NDOW has both the Egan and Schell Creek ranges for locations, however these span the entire units north and south. Looking for a general vicinity to concentrate efforts for scouting. Not looking for a trophy just would like to enjoy my time out there and hopefully see some deer. Any recommendations as far as north, middle, south or 221 vs 222?

Horrible area. Return the tag and save your points for another year.

Thanks guys. I have been in contact with the biologist, he’s pretty new to the area but it’s been too long since I’ve been on a hunt. I’ll be giving it a shot and successful or not, it’s better than my cubicle. Thanks for your responses.

Good burn area right there. Lots of pressure though too. Great buck!

That's the right attitude. A bad day hunting is still better than a good day at work. If you haven't already, do a search on this site for Nevada 221-223. Looks like there have been quite a few posts on that area over the years. You might find some useful info there.

Also, you can try sending PM's to members here who have shared info on those units in the past. Very few will give out specific info on these public forums, but I've found that many are more than willing to help you out privately, through PM's or a phone call.
