Can someone tell me where this "Desert" unit 290 is?

Lots of Rattlers?

I saw a huge 4 point this weekend on one of the islands South and East of the Crab Creek boat launch. I could not get a picture because I was on my jetski but he is going to be a giant.

One other thing I forgot to mention about the early archery season. Dove season starts on the same day your season starts. There is a lot of shooting going on and quite a bit of hunters. They did tell me when they would see bucks while they were shooting at those tiny little birds.

Well there was at least one

this comment should be deleted immediately as it's obviously not true as there are no big bucks in there and everyone with an early archery tag should definitely not bother hunting

Yeah this is worse than the elk comment!

I've never seen a rattler in the Desert unit. I would bet there are some on the southern border of the unit, as I've seen a few of them below the O'Sullivan dam.

I have not seen one in the desert unit either... not to say there arent some around but 26 yrs of stomping around in my back yard and have not seen one there.  Porcupines yes!

Guess I'm just special then

I think thats an understatement.

the location of the Desert is on the westside

That explains all these unimpressive racks...they are BLACKTAILS

Just got back to the truck from one of the most unpleasant hikes I've ever done. 80° but had to put my puffy on because the mosquitos were so bad. Worse than any place I've ever been including Alaska!

[LDennis24]

 

I have been a few places this year already where the mosquitos were just relentless! I used up all my deet one time in the Indian Heaven Wilderness and the biting flies and mosquitos never stopped so my wife and I decided to turn back and get down where the mosquitos weren't so bad. It was awful!
