I may not be real accurate but you can draw with 0 pts in the general draw and the last time I looked close at the odds,the unit I am after was like 2% chance with 18 pts and 4% guide drawing. not a hole lot of help,but I have many places to hunt while I wait.

Above normal moisture? I just looked at a drought map a couple days ago, and it showed Nevada below normal in most areas.

Not trying to start a fight. Just wondering...

azbiggame · Mar 7, 2015

that is o.k. ? My boots are on the ground in AZ. & NV. recently not looking at a "Drought Map" ... Bruce & SilverGrand

greyghost · Mar 7, 2015

No offense but any one that lives in Nevada could tell you that NV is no where in the ball park of above normal moisture. The only thing above normal here is the tempature.

shedneck · Mar 11, 2015

I am from Nevada and my boots are on the ground every single weekend. This is the least amount of moisture I have ever seen. Maybe the southern part of the State is different, but central and northern parts of the State are hurting. I was hiking last weekend at over 7,600 feet and there was dust flying up from my steps.

nevadabone · Mar 11, 2015

shedneck how was ur hike for weather ballons last weekend did you find any?

BigBuck · Mar 14, 2015

Nevada is going on year 4 of a major drought. Less than 20% of normal precipitation across the northern and eastern portions of the state.

6x7 · Mar 17, 2015

North of reno last year it was green all summer long some places got good summer rain some places didn't

nvhunter · Mar 18, 2015

North central NV, snow has hit the valley floor 1 time all winter, just enough to make it white. Mountain snows are almost already gone! Peaks that historically hold snow until July are almost void of snow already. No rain, nothing!
Probably the only thing keeping the state from blowing away were the monsoon rains of late summer last year!

"Above normal moisture" ????? No....not even close!

muleymaddness · Mar 18, 2015

Does anyone know when the results for the guided deer draw usually come out?

azbiggame · Mar 18, 2015

This time next week,wed 25th.there will be 400 + ALW deer tag holders planning their trips to NV.Congratulations ... Bruce & SilverGrand
FYI ... MORE rain forcasted Tonight in S. NV. ☺

nvhunter · Mar 19, 2015

FYI...NO rain forcast for N. NV for the next 10 days. The rain in S. NV was spotty at best.
Not trying to burst your bubble, just not trying to bs anyone about the real conditions.

NR Guided deer hunts...

Guide services... Anything directly guaranteed by a government agency to any company, even a guide service, that directly results in a profit could be considered as a subsidy.

NR hunters... Anyone that pays for a shortcut to success, particary in pursuite of an award or PR, or even just a personal pat on the back is no different than someone that takes steroids just to win a bench press competition.

Scout and/or do your research to EARN your own success.

IMO

muleymaddness · Mar 21, 2015

Bombardeer - if I shoot a deer with a guide, I'll be sure and not ask for your thoughts on the deer.

springvilleshooter · Mar 21, 2015

I disagree......steroids would relate more with poaching since it is illegal. Hiring a guide would be more like a personal trainer. So remember, if you get healthy with the help of a personal trainer, don't be walking on the beach with your shirt off......losers!---------SS

I feel similarly about personal trainers, but the comparison is fairly weak. Especially since it takes months of training to usually get into shape, and you the trainee are actually doing the exercises. When hunting with a guide, they do most all of the heavy lifting and the hunter tags along.

Hunting guides, as it directly relates to hunting sucess, do all of the preseason scouting and most all of the useful glassing and searching during the hunt. The hunter in most cases rides in truck and follows along waiting for his guide to locate his trophy.

springvilleshooter · Mar 21, 2015

I've never been on a guided hunt so I guess I wouldn't know, but I highly doubt that it's as simple as you suggest. If so, why are the stats for the guided hunts not 100%? Anyway, I could care less either way but I tend to try to live and let live. --------SS

nontypical · Mar 21, 2015

Bombardeer...I often wondered if you were an idiot.

Thanks for removing all doubt.

Bombardeer · Mar 22, 2015

Nontypical - Your jump to insult confirms that you lack the necessary fortitude and intelligence to have a resolved and intellectual debate.

Happy booger eating buddy

sagebrush · Mar 22, 2015

I've never have used a guide, but I doubt if you rode in a truck in the Ruby Mountains there would be much trigger time. I suspect its that way in most of the units and definitely that way in the units I have hunted.

I enjoy a DIY buck more than one where I would simply be the trigger man, no matter how hard I worked to follow the guide and how much bigger deer would be that I tagged. That said, I don't begrudge those that use a guide nor those that guide them, especially Bruce.

Bruce,

What time is the draw expected to be complete on Weds?

azbiggame · Mar 22, 2015

the Draw/Results will be known for those "GREAT" Nevada deer tags by Noon on Wed. to the guides that attend.I will be their ... Good Luck to ALL that applied ... Bruce & SilverGrand

Sierra · Mar 22, 2015

Thanks Bruce!

LAST EDITED ON Mar-22-15 AT 10:30PM (MST)[p]Bruce, Do the Tag Holders have to show up to hunt? According to "Bombardeer" You could just mail them the "Hero Photos"!

Bombardeer · Mar 23, 2015

Showing up is the easy part... So is riding shotgun, following your guide in the hills, and pulling the trigger. The hero photos, patting yourself on the back, and chest pounding come after that.

Even our idiot president shows up to work from time to time... But showing up doesn't mean a damn thing. You can still show up and suck at what you do... In my opinion, those that hire guides and "show up" are either crappy hunters or are too lazy to earn a trophy and their success.

springvilleshooter · Mar 23, 2015

So, let me get this straight.

People who hunt with guides are crappy hunters.
People who road hunt are crappy hunters.
People who shoot long range are crappy hunters.
People who buy auction tags are crappy hunters.
People who use trail cams are crappy hunters.
People who use ATVs are crappy hunters.
People who share points are crappy hunters.
People who buy ranch tags are crappy hunters.
People who hunt on a CWMU are crappy hunters.
People who film their hunts are crappy hunters.
People who shoot pisscutters are crappy hunters.
People who use scopes on a muzzy are crappy hunters
People who hunt the rut are crappy hunters.

I've learned a lot from my time on the internet, but I fear I'm forgetting a few.....please feel free to chime in. Who exactly are the crappy hunters? I am a crappy hunter and I enjoy the hell out of it. -------SS

Damn!! I am a really crappy hunter.

delmag1942 · Mar 23, 2015

I only utilize guides when the odds necessitate or required by law. Keep in mind that all NA Super Slammers must not be hunters, as NO LESS THA 12 of the 29 REQUIRE a guide. In addition the guided hunts I have been on were no different that the DIY hunts the I do.

Now you're just ranting and deviating... I haven't mentioned anything about long range hunting, ATVs, trail cams, or anything else you listed, with the exception of guided hunts.

nontypical · Mar 23, 2015

Excuse me, Bombardeer. My bad.

You're a FUNNY idiot.

Good luck to all you lazy, worthless, so called "hunters" in the outfitter draw!

Bombardeer · Mar 23, 2015

This guy is my hero...

Scouts, hikes, glasses, and hunts hard, and every year, whether it's in his home state or out of state, he manages to take quality animals... Weird, he never has to hire a guide. The guy earns every trophy.
