If you were lucky enough to draw a Silver State deer tag, how would you hunt it? I've seen these tags become a curse to so many, ultimately going unfilled or used on an average deer when the hunter has given up. Nevada is a different type of place considering big deer can be anywhere, but there aren't really any no-brainer areas like other states have.
I would start scouting July 1 and keep at it every weekend through the bow season. I have a few friends scattered throughout the state that would probably take a look around their areas for me, and I would hone in if any exceptional bucks were found. By muzzy season, I'd have a plan for where I would concentrate my efforts and I would dedicate a full 9 days to the muzzy hunt, 9 days at the end of the rifle hunt, and another 9 days to the late season hunts if needed.
My main goals for the hunt would be to spend some time down in Lincoln County as I have never had the chance to hunt down there and have seen some great bucks while working. Other than that, I would stick to areas I know in northern Nevada. I would concentrate on the joy of the hunt far more than the outcome or any specific expectation of antler size. I would probably take the opportunity to hunt a few mountain ranges that I would never apply for in the main draws but have always wanted to hunt.
Interested to hear how you would do it.----SS
