Hello all,
I grew up not far from this unit (near Goldfield, NV) and was excited to draw it for my first mule deer hunt. I will have around 15 straight days to be out there and was wondering if anyone was familiar with the area and had any tips regarding areas to focus on and whether to spread out my 15 days over several of the different mountains or just pick one and stay on it.
Any other general tips would be appreciated as it's my first mule deer hunt. I am a fairly experienced backpacker and grew up climbing in nearby mountains in the area. If anyone else has a tag for the area or a nearby area I would willing to help out as a pack mule or taking photos/etc. while I'm up there.
Due to my job keeping me out of area most of the year, I'll only have two weeks or so right before the season start on Nov 5 to scout.
Thanks in advance and I look forward to hearing from you guys!
