71-79, 91 early mule deer advise

[betterlucky]

Any advice, have one week set aside this summer to scout and five days before the hunt...have most of the hunt off already and not afraid of packing in for days at a time. Just wondering where to start and what to bring for gear? wall tent, enclosed trailer, quad or general? Planning on starting in the wilderness and going from there. thanks for any input

Out of curiosity how many points did you have?

You can make this hunt into whatever you want and still be successful. You can pack way in, set up a base camp, or stay in a hotel. I’d recommend an ATV, UTV, or vehicle that you don’t care about scratching up. Good luck and enjoy!——-SS

I drew the same tag. I’ve never hunted those units. I do own property in 079.

You probably already read this. I drew a doe tag 10/19-10/31. I’m going to stay in wells and drive out. Good luck on your hunt.

I drew this tag too. Maybe I'll see you guys out there.

I can't blame a guy for getting a tag and hunting but it sure makes me sad that we would kill any does in the state of Nevada right now. I have hunted 7's 3 times in the past 10 years and there have been noticeably less overall deer each time. I think we should protect the baby-makers until we are absolutely overflowing with deer. Just my $.02 and I wish all hunters luck and delicious venison.----SS

These deer migrate, even in the first rifle hunt. Do some research on the migration routes. If the wilderness does not pan out, don‘t be afraid to roam around and check out different areas. I got my best buck on the last day of the early rifle hunt, a long ways away from the wilderness area. I’m pretty sure the deer were migrating.
