Services in Veyo/Pine Valley unit?

[Calbuck]

Wondering about gas/diesel/groceries/ice etc in the unit? We'll be heading down on the 21st. Thanks!

They have a gas station, dollar store, convenience store, a couple restaurants and the best pie at Veyo Pies. Hop on Google maps and you can see if there is anything else.

Thanks Packout, good information. May give that pie shop a try!

The Pie shop is worth the stop.

This place must offer some serious pie! Honestly the most unique information for a hunting post I've received..love it! We'll have to run into town for dinner and pie it sounds like!

 

[eyeman]

+1 on the pie store

 

[Houndsman77]

The pie store is top notch the restaurants a very few hear they are decent food tho

 

[yoteduster]

Darn..you guys got me hungry for pie might have to run south 363 miles and get me some pie

 

[Houndsman77]

Their rhubarb pie is the best I had from there

The pie is good but if you want a good burger and fries go to Marv's in Enterprise. I will be down there on the 21st as well. I spent most of the muzzy hunt there and just got back Saturday after spending three days on the early rifle hunt.

How are things looking down there?

Banana cream is to die for in Veyo.

Anyone take the Crestline Road into Enterprise? Condition? Compared to Hwy 56 and 18?

It's generally a well-maintained road. Can get a little wash boarded in places. I wouldn't hesitate to take it if coming from that direction.

Thanks for that info..most dirt roads in Nevada and various other states are far better than our highways in CA

The crestline road is a good road it has been Hammered on the Utah side this last week but if wash board don't bother you it's good

Thanks everyone for your tips. Unfortunately we didn't make it into town for pie. Tough hunt! Son took a nice small 4x4 which was the biggest buck we saw the whole hunt. Saw very few deer with exception of near Veyo on the flats..all does and a few spikes and baby forkies. Not what we were after. We saw a couple deer that may have been 3 yr olds, including my boy's deer. Cool country, sad to talk with the locals about how "it used to be".. Lots of nice people and we fully enjoyed our trip! On to Nevada cow elk!

Thanks for the update! It's been a tough hunt for me as well. I have hunted the unit off and on for almost 20 years. This is the worst I have ever seen it in that time period. On a positive note, it seems like there are a lot of fawns this year (more than last year). However, it will take several more years of reduced tag numbers to recover this unit. If I remember correctly, they issued over 800 rifle tags last year on PV. It was an absolute zoo.

I Haven't Even Been There!

But If You Wanna See PISS POOR Deer Numbers Come On Up & I'll Show You Around The South Slope!

Low Deer Numbers Would Be an Understatement!

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH But The Opportunity!

My experience 2 years ago to a tee. Cool country, bucks few & far between.

I had pretty realistic expectations as I'd heard how far downhill it's gone..still takes a person aback to see that great looking habitat with nothing in it.
