Early Archery Unit 104/108

[Coolio17]

Long time lurker on the forum the past year. Long story short moved to Nevada from Alaska last year and still e-scouting/ learning/ reading as much as I can.

I have found plenty of info on Units 101-103 from a number sources on here. I think I have a good idea of what I would expect, but I have been searching for info on Units 104 and 108. I don't expect specifics, just curious about looking into these units.

I'm not concerned at all about trophy size, just looking for an opportunity. Hoping to find an alternate to the crowds and private lands in 101-103.

I don't have NV info to share yet, but I'd he happy to share what I can about Alaska.

104 and 108 have very few deer. We spent a lot of time in the country looking for deer last year as an alternative to hiking into the Rubies. We did find a few deer, but very few. Also, it appears that during hunting season these areas see a lot of hunters despite the low deer numbers.
Ultiametly, we hiked into the wilderness in 102 and had the place almost to ourselves and had a great hunting experience.

If you do hunt 104/108, almost every water source we found had deer using it, but in very low numbers.

That's kinda what I was thinking. Glad you had a great experience. I'm not expecting privacy. I would rather have a good experience with a chance to see some opportunity than battle too many other hunters.
