Nevada Doe Tag for Wife??

[chevy_dog]

This will be my wife's first season to deer hunt. I am looking for a successful hunt for her this year and was wondering if anyone can point me in the right direction. We live in Sacramento, and hunting in California is pretty difficult for a first time hunter, with all the pressure. I am looking for a good opportunity to be successful, and I thought that a doe deer tag could be the ticket. California does not generally sell doe tags, so I was hoping someone could shed some light on a non-resident doe deer unit that would be easy for her to draw. Nevada is not that far away from us, I just don't have any experience at all hunting that state. Any information or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

For some reason Nevada won't let non residents put in for the antlerless deer hunts. Why not put her in buck. Most all of the buck hunts have petty good harvest rates.

I would look at the Areas that most appeal to you and your wife and have the largest quotas for Buck Only and "go for it!" for a Non-resident. I'd say Areas 6, 7, or 10 would probably be your best choices. Even if you do hunt without success, you will get to know some great country, probably see a bunch of deer, and harvesting one will just be icing on the cake!AND deer HUNTING is what it's all about, anyway!

My wife was in the same boat when we started hunting big game. I did a little research, put her in for five of the easiest to draw tags, she drew her 5th choice and she harvested a small 4X4 on her first year applying. She's been my hunting partner ever since. Check out these odds and pick five.
