Hey Rackmaster,

That's a great tag for your kid! My kid wasn't as lucky as yours, but she'll have three points next year.

The antelope are more spread out in that area than Likely Tables.
I would say your best bet would be the first big valley east of the Ramshorn BLM campground. It is just south of Observation Peak and Spanish Springs Ranch east of 395. The goats could be anywhere from Ramshorn to Painters Flat about 25 miles east on the Nevada border. I would concentrate your efforts about 6 or 8 miles in from 395.

You might also want to give Pete's Valley a look. Take Horse Lake Rd. to the west(about 2 miles south of Ravendale on 395). Go about 15 miles until you pass Horse Lake. Then take the road to Pete's Valley back to the east. You'll go over a ridge and drop into the valley. There is lots of water there compared to the rest of the Zone. I killed a nice one there about ten years ago.

I killed a big one a couple miles in on Horse Lake Rd about twenty years ago and my buddy killed a 14" about twenty minutes later while we were taking care of mine.

My Dad killed a nice one on a small section of BLM land up near Grasshopper Valley a few years ago


Good luck !

I killed a nice one out of painters flat a few years back. Good area. Work towards the nevada border from their.

Is your kid really named "Hay"?

d13r, thats funny.

RACK, The info given is good. Those are great areas to start with. Since its the first season, I'd look those areas over the weekend before. I've got 2 friends that drew and are probably already looking. I'll PM their 4th/5th choices if they let me.

I'll be looking across the border for mine so I won't have time to look but expect a PM in about a month.
