Deer, Elk and Antelope seasons are all well underway. I have an archery deer tag myself and am getting ready to head to the hills behind the house with my wife and daughter to enjoy a day in the hills and hopefully find a deer or two to chase. Its been a rough year personally, so this is a...

My daughter and I start our Nevada August Marathon today... Archery antelope for her 141,143, 151 to 156. Next week archery deer for me and junior deer for her. 151 to 156. Then 078, 105 to 107, 109 muzzle loader cow for me. I work 8 days this month.

Well, my daughter is in for all her apps. She even applied for archery antelope for her second choice in our local unit. Last year she can do junior deer. Late cow with 4 points? We'll see. Desert bighorn with 5 points and California bighorn for the long shot. Points for bull and...

There are quite a few discussions s this year in regards to the drought, poor antler growth, etc. People talk about not seeing anything worth shooting. Numbers are down, and various other comments. So, in this post, let's talk specifics. In the area I had for archery deer, I saw over 30...

I drew a Nevada 213 late ram tag this year. My daughter hunted it in 2019 for ewes and was successful on opening morning. I have been going to the area off and on for the last 10 years as it has intrigued me. It's one of the last remnant herds of central Nevada at the low point in...

It sounds like we will be going to Vegas in July for my wife's sister in law baby shower. We plan to go a couple days early. We will have our kids and my mother in law. 5 total people. Looking at a morning tour of fishing and a lake cruise. I have never fished big water, and do not have...

Not much traffic on here lately. I figured we could have an antelope picture thread. Here is the one I took opening morning with my two daughters, wife and disbled father on the hunt with me.

should be a pretty easy one. 3/4 mile spot.

Went out scouting this evening. The tall one is cool though he will not score well I don't think due to short prongs and low mass. I am guessing he is over 16 on his tall side. The heavy one spends a lot of time on private which will prove to be a challenge. Still looking and seeing new...

My daughter had three tags this year. A doe antelope tag that she filled on September 8th. She also had a ewe tag for 213 and a junior deer tag for 151-156. We left for sheep camp on October third. We scouted that evening, and all day Friday. We hunted early on Saturday morning, but...

My daughter got her first antelope yesterday afternoon. A couple missed shots earlier in the day, but a good connect at 330 put one through the left shoulder and out the right side. My dad who has had two strokes was able to make it out, and my four year old daughter came along as well. My...

Jeep is packed and ready to go. I have a few bucks lined out and can't wait until 4 am tomorrow! First archery (deer) tag, as I begin a new journey in my deer hunting career. Anyone else ready for the opener tomorrow?

LAST EDITED ON Jul-06-19 AT 07:46AM (MST)[p]Well, the draws are done, tons of people have asked for advice and many have said the plan to get out and scout for deer. Not seeing much for pictures of deer or general scouting pics of interesting finds. I put out a camera in an off the wall...

My daughter drew a ewe sheep tag here in Nevada. Being able to property identify the target is very critical. I planned to purchase a spotting scope this summer, however, due to family medical issues, and needing to help out, that plan is out the window. (The burden seemed to have been at a...

My daughter drew the 213 Ewe tag. The NDOW website says that Ewe tag holders will have to watch a video seminar prior to getting the tag. Does anyone know when, where or how that is accomplished? Thanks, We are both pretty pumped for that tag, and will be getting down there in a couple...

Deer number 2 down and done for the year. My daughter killed this little buck this morning, less than 100 yards from where she missed a buck last week with the muzzleloader. Rifle opened yesterday, and with the junior tag here in Nevada, she can hunt archery, muzzleloader and rifle, either sex...

Does anyone have contact information for Al Harris in Spring Creek/South Fork? I dropped a lion hide off with him about a year and a half ago to get fleshed and tanned and just remembered about it. All the numbers I have found are no good and NDOW is not showing a current taxidermy license...

LAST EDITED ON Sep-14-18 AT 09:28AM (MST)[p]I drew an area 15 muzzle loader deer tag. I scouted 4 days, including the day before the opener. I managed to find 7 bucks while scouting. Day one, I saw one spike early and a nice buck late. On day 2 I found 6 bucks that were walking into water at the...

LAST EDITED ON Jun-17-18 AT 07:35PM (MST)[p]I have a traditions pursuit muzzle loader. I have the Williams WGRS and as low of a front fiber sight as I can find. I have the rear sight maxed out to the highest mark. I shoot a 250 grain Hornady XTP 45 caliber in a harvester ribbed sabot...

I drew a NV 061/071 bull archery tag. August 16-31. I have had cow tags in September there before several years ago, but have never hunted this early up there. I did have a cow tag on Spruce Mountain a couple years ago during that time frame, but that was a water hole hunt, and was very...

The proposed Quotas have been posted. http://www.ndow.org/Public_Meetings/Com/Agenda/

http://www.eregulations.com/nevada/big-game/ One thing I noticed is that the hunting hours were extended to one half hour after sunset as opposed to sunset.

I just ordered my hunting fishing combo and lion tag and the same for !y daughter. All went off without a hitch. 5 minutes combined.

Here is the 2017 data. It is broken down now by choice and total applicants. Don't look if you are already mad or haven't had your coffee! http://www.ndow.org/Hunt/Resources/Bonus_Point_Data/

I could use some advice. I am wanting to see if it's crazy for me to be upset or if I should work towards another solution. I killed a good mountain lion in January 2016. Looked around and talked to a few people and settled on a taxidermist in Utah. Sent the lion and 25% in February...

Hi all,. My daughter did not draw a tag here in NV. Because of her birthday being where it is, I could not put her in for the youth tag here this year. She will be 12 on September 4th. I only have some time off in September and December due to scheduling, staffing and training issues. I...

Hello all,. My family and I are planning a camping trip soon. We have not recently been to area 12. (I did go to the caves when I was real young). Are there any places in 12 with stream fishing and decent places to camp near a county road? We like to get away from the crowds. Even...

My daughter passed her hunter safety today. She has a Mossberg 243. It has a cheap no name scope on it. The gun is accurate. I want to upgrade the scope for her after passing the class. Have been looking at the Leopold VX1 line which I have on my 223 and like. Also like the Weaver K4 but...

Hey all, I thought I would bring up a different discussion, relating to desert Mule Deer hunting. The reason I ask is because I am looking at a couple areas that are more desert type habitat rather than sage brush / high desert type country that I have hunted the last several years. I just...

Just throwing this out there. I left something there this weekend by accident. Gas to get there will cost more than it will take to rebuild new unless someone happens to be in the area and could grab it. Not the end of the world, nothing sentimental, just a pita to rebuild. I could pick it up...

I drew a cow muzzle loader tag for August 16-31, here in NV. I am fairly familiar with the unit but have never hunted elk at this time. How will the elk be acting during this time? Will it be more like hunting deer? Ones, twos and threes of elk? Will the bulls be in smaller groups just...

I am looking for some information on the elk in the north portion of unit 162. It has been several years since I have been in that country. I plan to apply for cow elk muzzle loader and early rifle this year for the unit, if the details I have will make it worth while for me. I have hunted...

LAST EDITED ON Sep-14-14 AT 04:01PM (MST)[p]A while back I posted a question asking about the Hornady XTP - .452" 250 grain and how well it would work on deer. This weekend I got to find out. I have never killed a deer with a muzzle loader, but have killed 3 elk, and have always had trouble...

I have a doe antelope and a ml deer tag this year. My dad, FIL, friend, and our pastor also have doe antelope tags. Over the years, I have always wanted to make a buckskin, but have never had any reasonable free time to do it. It looks like this year I may be able to. I have a book called...

Hello, I am trying to get some updated information on this bullet for deer. My last muzzle loader deer tag was in 2011. I picked those bullets up that spring and use them with a Harvester Crush Rib Sabot. I don't know exactly why I chose those bullets at the time, and I did not get a deer...

Hello all, I normally don't reach out like this, but figured I would give it a shot. My dad has the August, 101-103 cow tag. He has been hunting the last 3 days, but has had no luck finding elk or any sign of elk. He did talk to someone who said that they know of two bulls that have been...

I could use some help from my neighbors to the east. I spend a considerable amount of time in Utah (medical stuff). My wife and I got married in June and honeymooned at her grandfather's cabin in Beaver. We went fishing. When we were there, instead of buying the 1 or 2 day license, she got...

Ok, I drew one tag this year - an antelope tag with 4 points for the unit group that I live in. 141, 143, 151-156 in NV. I will have a lot of time to scout this summer, and I have a few areas picked out which I know don't get hunted much, and there haven't been a lot killed according to the...
