Going into the 2018 non resident draw I have 10 mule deer points, 17 desert sheep points and 16 California sheep points.
Having recently retired I can not afford a guided or fully outfitted hunt. The posts about deer unit 194 - 196 outside of Reno are discouraging due to private land issues. Yet the harvest reports reveal this unit to be one of the best as to harvest % and 4pt or better %. 221 late is out due to the odds to draw even with 10 points. How is 114 - 115 around Great Basin Ntl Park? Or 131 - 134 late? Any help or advice from Nevada residents who have knowledge of these areas would greatly be appreciated. I'm now 62 and have hunted all over the western states - but the clock is ticking due to age and money!
Please help.
