Anybody have any last minute advice on this hunt? Unfortunately, due to covid and mandatory OT, I wasn’t able to scout like I wanted to. Hoping a little hard work and miles will pay off.
Drew a late September into early October tag and was wondering if that matched up. Seems to in other states but wasn’t sure about Nevada. I’ve only hunted antelope in August and early September.
Would sitting water still be as effective as it is in August? I have decoys but the kids want to tag...
Anybody have any insite on finding these ewes.... we've been all over the Paiute area to the park, hiked into 5 Ram (it's dry) and Buffington (dry as well). Don?t have major 4x4. Have friends that have not seen anything in the North Muddys.
Thanks in advance.
Anybody having trouble getting into them like we are? Have been all over northern 111 and 112, no luck and very few fleeing lopes seems, mostly single bucks.
Anybody have any ideas on where to find a few? It's a first time antelope hunter or I wouldn't ask :). Have two more days to get after them.
On one of the Nevada hunting FB pages...there was quite a debate on interpretation of what constitutes a legal Nv spike versus traditional spike.
As defined per NDOW:
Spike elk ? any antlered elk having not more than two points above the top of the ear on either antler
Pretty easy on the...
Any issues with getting into hunting areas or elk hanging up on private land. I was looking at a few maps before I hit the hills and it looks like there is quite a bit of private, especially in the southern side.
Got a late spike elk tag, December time frame.
What are the cows doing during that time frame and where? I won't be able to make it out there until mid to late December.
Have info I can trade if you need help as well.
I have made several scouting trips since the results came out. I found them in July rutting and in August. My wife and I made the hike into where we saw quite a few those past trips this past Saturday and they are just gone.
What do you guys think, scared off by other hunters scouting or are...
I've owed you guys this for a while but have been busy, so I'm sorry it took me this long to post up. Also, I have four papers due this weekend, so I'm procrastinating and you guys are helping :)
I want to thank Ron for his help with information and, ultimately, getting me on sheep.
Got...
I am writing a proposal on managing wild horse numbers and need some hard evidence on their impact on the environment and local wildlife.
Anybody have any good info/data reflecting their impact?
Thanks in advance!
Not saying I am going to use it and neither are you, but...
I am sitting here looking in my safe deciding what to take on a desert ewe hunt and see my wife's ultralight 223. Shooting a solid bullet, like a triple shock, and keeping it under 150 yards would be sufficient, right?
LAST EDITED ON May-28-14 AT 06:46PM (MST)[p]212 sheep for...
Area 231 elk deer
Area 102 deer
Area 262 elk deer
Area 111-114 antelope
Or some Hooters wings and drinks.
Can anybody who lives or has lived in Elko please tell me about it. I might have an opportunity to move there soon and wanted to get a good idea of what to expect.
We hunt the Rubies every year, so it would make a huge difference for us since we love to hunt, fish, hike, and camp. What I don't...
If you only had one day to hunt, would you rather spend it in a 4X4 trying to cover as much as ground as possible or still backpack into your original planned area.
Details:
Driving from Vegas to the Rubies. I was suppose to have left this morning but I have to come into work for a few hours...
Long story short, I had some trips planned to head up there to scout in the next few weeks but just lost one of our vehicles(only one with 4x4, other vehicle is a car) to some mechanical issues. I hope to have it back by the 1st, but I am SOL for scouting trips atleast for the next week.
What I...
I am trying to decide on which I want to go with.
Kenetrek Mountain Extreme uninsulated
Crispi Hunter HTG
The only thing I don't like about the crispi is they are insulated, which might be a bummer for earlier hunts ( liek the September hunt I am buying them for).
But...I do love how the...
LAST EDITED ON Sep-16-12 AT 02:50AM (MST)[p]Not much of a buck, but for a first time backpack trip going in solo...not too shabby. This is my second muley harvest.
LAST EDITED ON Aug-26-12 AT 01:39PM (MST)[p]All, I have a fellow military member going for a few days hunt in these units. He only has about two days total to hunt, so he will not be picky at all when it comes to size.
We are just looking to put him on any deer, period.
This will be an archery...
LAST EDITED ON Jul-27-12 AT 04:49AM (MST)[p]Anybody have one of their packs I can try on before I buy? I would love to know how they feel since stores don't sell them. Vegas area or nearby.
I will buy you lunch!!!!
I am having trouble picking which pack I want, either the Blue Widow or Dragonfly.
I hunt with all three weapon types and need a pack that I will be able to use all seasons and uses.
Blue Widow:
I like the wider chassis and double support straps on the BW. I also like the close to the body...
My wife drew this tag this year. Considering this will be her first deer hunt, I want to do this right. Also, this might be out last year in Nevada since I have been stationed here for over four years and I can feel orders coming up like the flu.
I am heading up there in a few weeks once we get...
Can somebody please explain this hunt to me. I can't find anything online.
Is this a kind of depredation hunt? What and where is Baker Ranch, do you hunt the ranch and within one mile of the boundary or does it mean you can only get as close as one mile to it?
This is one of my wife's hunt...
I have seen quite a bit on the Oveton....but in the following areas how is the turkey hunting???
UNITS 223, 231, 241, 242, 243 AND 271
I am eager to go but would like to know if there is a decent chance at bagging one with hard work.
Thanks!

Diamondback 8.5x50 or any DBs for that matter???
Is there a difference between the two year models? I'm wondering if the price difference is worth getting "older" optics.
Thanks guys!
What's ya'lls opinion on them? More specifically, their Fullfield II 10x42 binos.

I feel I am an accomplished exotic sheep hunter. I grew up bowhunting free range mouflon and aoudad sheep in Texas on public land.
I am really comfortable with my bow out to 60 yards and am in pretty good shape.
Looking at the odds of drawing...it seems my chances would be better at a archery...
