Any info on drought affect - 268 ewe tag (muddy mountains)

[iowacity]

My wife has this tag in October. We have never hunted the area. I pulled harvest data for rams and see a consistent pattern on where rams are being harvested, but the season is later than the ewe hunt. I have a few focus areas picked out based on harvest data, which is surprisingly different from the hunter information sheets and I don’t see water nearby these locations. Also, the drought I hear is very bad in southern NV this year.

Does anyone have any intel on what’s going on with the sheep in 268 this year with Lake Mead so low? Any suggestions on where to start looking? I’m curious if they line up with the avilable harvest data. I can discuss what I am seeing in harvest data via PM, but don’t want to post it publicly.

Gotta be the easiest hunt in the state.... Honestly.... Difficult to draw, easy hunt.

Those sheep will move, and goto the Muddy's and the Lake, no matter how far down it is. Sheep are all over in 268.

Not really. Drought has really hit them hard and moved them around in the Muddys. May be looking better with the rain we’ve been getting lately but 2 years ago it was tough to find a ewe! Ask me how I know.
