    Nevada Elk tag for $200k

    I attended the Meadow Valley Wildlife Unlimited (local eastern Nevada wildlife fund-raising organization) dinner Saturday. The auctioned Nevada Bull Elk Tag set a record for Nevada- it went for $200k. Now come the hunt, the guy will be scrambling to see if he can afford the $$$ for gas or...

    How late in winter will deer exhibit rutting behavior?

    January 4th in Panaca, Nevada I encountered 6 mule deer bucks all pursuing a lone doe. Two of the bucks momentarily got into a skirmish, one was clearly the larger buck. I expected after they broke off, they would create distance. Instead they acted as if nothing had happened. I had thought...

    Lion kill on Main Street

    Not a lion kill(ed) but a lion kill! I thought I'd share this as I thought an unusual location. Apparently, the lion killed the deer in the parking lot of the Lincoln County Telephone Bldg. and drug it to the edge of the street to feed, but later abandoned it. It must be a bold and hungry lion...

    My 2020 "hunts"

    No big game tags, so I "hunted" with my Sony 92 pixel Handycam. I know there is better equipment, and better ways to hunt (glassin' 'em up!) but I prefer to get up close and personal (kinda like "real" hunting, lots of surprises, missed opportunities, etc. Nothing really special, but I thought...

    Just curious? Women hunters- will they handle anything/everything?

    My wife just loves venison, She will shoot a deer and help with the "down and dirty work" (but not the gutting). She has no problem with meat processing, and is quite good at it. I see a lot of posts with their kills meat, or racks/heads on backpacks, etc. How many know gals that will do...

    Odd locked-rack bucks

    Here's an odd pic of locked-rack bucks. I'm guessing somehow the apparently healthy-looking survivor of battle attacked an already dead or decomposing head. I can't imagine a buck ripping off anothers head.

    What would you do?

    Here's an unusual occurance that was related to me by my friendly ol' G.W.: There is now a closed season for antler hunting in Areas in Nevada that have Elk populations until May 1. I think it is unlawful to hunt or possess or pick-up. But a buck slammed into the side of his door, damaging the...

    Your Earliest Hunting Pics

    I was looking through my archived photos and found the earliest one I could find of my Dad and uncle with their deer in 1949 in Cedar City, Utah. (I'm 73, so I was about 3 yrs. old, and can faintly remember that family car!) And for some hunters, I think it was common to lash deer on to the...

    My 2019 bull elk hunt

    The dream (or expectation): Hard at it! The actual bulls hunted: Shots fired: 1 shot 2 times; 2 shots 1 time. The end result: STILL A GREAT HUNT- "Hunting, ALWAYS an adventure!"

    This Year's Town Bucks

    I have enjoyed posts in the past of some dandy "town bucks". The nicer ones I find here in Pioche, NV are not really residents, but do come into town looking for does during the rut. Anyone want to share what they've seen this year? A couple of visitors from year's past: 2019:

    Latest Nevada Moose Sightings

    I saw this pic on another site: cow moose at lower end of Independence Mts. in Elko County(Near Lone Mountain). I read that there may be as many as 50 moose in Nevada now! Maybe established population? Cool to see them here!

    Elk Refuge Mounted Sheds

    I'd never been to Jackson Hole, WY to visit the elk refuge, and I had an opportunity to do so recently. I thought I'd share some "elk shed porn" from the visitor center/museum there of two of the mounted shed sets on display there! I was especially enamored with the largest set ever found there...

    Shed Antler Find-Closed Season

    Just curious on advice or comments I would get from this: (This was last year, prior to the closed season going into effect, so I was ok then). What would you do (including game biologists/game wardens)? Driving around looking for deer to videotape or photograph, I encountered this nice shed...

    How many times have you had to play "find the buck" over the years? This just appeared to be a cat'sclaw-covered, rocky hillside, until something caught my eye and made me look closer! * * *

    Roadside muley buck

    I'm kind of a novice at this game. I thought I'd post a video clip of a nice buck that was paralleling the road I was travelling on in 2017.

    Muley Buck Battle

    I'm usually too late with the camera/camcorder; or it's just forkies or dink bucks sparring. I was a little late for the start of the fight, and they broke and ran after they got behind the tree But they were serious about it for a bit anyway. So, I thought I'd share. :-) (Youtube video link at...

    Nevada Moose

    Thought I'd share some of the Nevada Moose images I've downloaded. Various places: Spring Creek, North of Carlin, Jarbidge, Pole Creek, others not specified. I'm sure different animals all! They're here to stay (I hope!) AND... a warning to those who may try to hunt/POACH them illegally! ;-)

    King of Carson City buck

    As of a few days ago, he was still enjoying his "urban life style", visiting people's yards, and resting in them. I kinda like the looks of this gnarly buck, and hope he can continue to live without being poached, hit by car, or suffering some other fate!

    Scraped and Unscraped bucks

    This was a rather unusual encounter for me, anyway. The bucks are starting to scrape their velvet. I encountered these two one morning- the buck on the left was scraped and even appears to already have winter coloration; the buck on the right was still apparently summer-coated, and still in...

    Town Bucks

    Nothing special, but there have been a lot of small bucks all over town this summer. I'd seen as many as six together at times; I was fortunate a few nights ago to get a group of nine together. One of the biggest, a small 4x3, actually bedded down for a rest while I was taking pictures! I...

    Elk and Horses

    I guess I just haven't seen them associating with each other;and I guess its more common than I thought. These are isolated pictures; altogether, there were 42 horses and 7 elk in the group before they spooked and scattered. And then there was this awhile ago!:-)
