Drew a late season rifle deer tag in 161-164 I was just curious if anyone thinks it would be a good idea to purchase a lion tag? Curious if people have seen them in the 16s while hunting/camping or out just goofing off.
 
Only 100 $ bill or so. If you spend time glassing anywhere there's deer in NV, good chance you'll see one.
Copy that.. I spend a lot of time behind the glass and knowing my luck id see one without a tag in my pocket.
 
I don’t know about a good chance to see one, but the department of wildlife told me years ago if you pick a mountain in Nevada there’s mountain lions on it. I’ve only seen two in Nevada with a lot of time behind the glass. I’ve seen more in Arizona. Murphy’s Law, if you don’t have a tag in your pocket, you’ll probably see a lion! If you want to save some deer and put a lion on the wall you should always spend the extra bucks to have one in your pocket.

Just picked one up $104 for a non res which isn't bad at all. Obviously, my focus is trying to find a good buck but if i see a lion my plans are changing pretty quick. I'm all about predator control and trying to help the deer and elk out(y)
 
Saw one in area 18 once and in 196 right in NV/CA border. There are more than we know out there. Good luck. Keep us posted if you harvest.
 
Always good to have this tag. Recently have seen Lions while hunting/glassing near water holes, ( a.m. and p.m
)off the beat en track in NV & Utah ... Bruce & SilverGrand

I saw something on this exact hunt you have I will never see again. 4 lions all together. Had just killed a deer. You could see them licking the blood off of themselves. Looked like a mama with 3 almost full grown kiddos. They were a couple thousand yards off and we couldnt get closer or we woulda made use of our tags. It was crazy.
 
Thats impressive!

Thats impressive! I've only seen a couple lions and never got the chance to get a picture or let alone get my weapon ready. Usually, I only see them for a split second. On the upside I'll be ready! Just finished building a new laser beam that should reach out there quite a ways. :devilish:
 
Ive never seen lions, but I know they are around. I've found lion and bobcat tracks in the snow in between times we hiked (no tracks on the way up, tracks on the way down).

I have watched a pack of coyotes go after Antelope.
 
Crazy you got a pic of those cats. Are they like that in all 4 of the units? Probably I guess, They're gonna be where the deer are
