Just got back late last night from spending the last 22 days in the beautifull mountains of northern Navada. We finished out the early season with 12 bucks for 15 hunters. One hunter passed on a 30" 5X5 at 175 yards then a half hour later passed on a 32" 3X3, one hunter left without firing a shot to go home to spend time with his son and another 82 year old feller missed 6 bucks the last day of the season. The bucks in Nevada are in great shape this year with some of the biggest bodies I've seen in a long time. We had a ton of snow last week. By the time I decided that we had to bale off the mountain the snow was up to the horses knees at our camp and up to their necks going over the pass on the way out, there were a couple tense moments but we survived, it took us 5 hours to make a 2 1/2 hour ride. We'll head back out for the last week of the late season on Friday. It should be great with the snow and the rut begining
First weeks bucks
Second week
Before
After
This is the 5X5 that was passed
Third week
These guys both suffered a little scope bite
