edwardsc, you'd better look at your season dates. In the book your season starts October 5th and ends October 20th. You mentioned that you will be hunting on the 10th for 4 days which puts you hunting to the 13th. Then the last 4 days will be the 16th through the 20th only giving you a two day lapse time.
Copper Mountain is not in the Wilderness area but is in National Forest meaning that you will have some road access. I've seen plenty of deer in the Copper Mountain area but have never hunted it so I cannot comment on the trophy potential but it is a lush green area, as far as Nevada is concerned, and should hold good bucks. Loomis and the Snake Mountains are good places during the migration but your season might be a little too early to intercept migrating muleys. You might try Draw Creek right up against the Wilderness area if you are gonna be in the Loomis nieghborhood because a lot of the deer come out of the wilderness and cross Loomis and the Snakes on the Migration. Although it is a little early for migrating deer, you just might find some early movers. Bring your optics and get high or medium elevation and use them religously. Hope this is a help. fatrooster.
