I drew a deer license for area 211/212 this year. This is Esmerelda County SW of Tonopah on the state line with California. I had the same license in 1995 and shot a decent buck, but never saw a big-timer. I called the biologist a couple of weeks ago and he was not optimisitic. He said deer densities are very low and that I should only see one buck in a week of hunting. The drought is hurting this area.
As always, I'm not asking for a honey hole; just thoughts. The area goes from Bounday Peak, the highest point in Nevada to the north end of Death Valley and has some pretty tough country in it.
I'm thinking of staying to the desert-type of country. I like hunting the open and won't likely have any fun in the junipers or pines. I'm coming by myself the week of Thanksgiving, so any suggestions will be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
