Title: Area 6 Nevada early archery tag!
Post by: Elkgetr2 on May 25, 2014, 01:10:55 PM: My buddy and I drew early archery tags in area 6 of Nevada. We plan on making one or two scouting trips ahead of the season. Our goal is to find the most remote spot possible and go for it. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you Andrew L.

That's what I was wondering. I'll be heading by that country on the way to my 221-223 late hunt rifle hunt and possibly scouting next month.

Good luck to you guy's, I may be able to come up with some info on your hunt, if I do I'll let you know.

Post by: Elkgetr2 on May 25, 2014, 04:38:58 PM: That would be awesome! If I come across anything for your hunt in my research I will let you know as well! Andrew
Title: Re: Area 6 Nevada early archery tag!
Post by: huntnnw on May 25, 2014, 09:24:43 PM: tough hunt from the research I have done, I do have a buddy who has hunted units near there and a quad is a must he said...they use them daily to cover the massive terrain to find bucks.
Title: Re: Area 6 Nevada early archery tag!
Post by: mwhunter on May 25, 2014, 09:33:57 PM: My brother lives down there and has seen some monsters I will get in touch with him and see we're the hot spots are
Title: Re: Area 6 Nevada early archery tag!
Post by: Elkgetr2 on May 25, 2014, 09:36:41 PM: Thanks for the info. I have read the trick is to get as high as you can and cover country with our glasses. My goal is to try and locate an area that is a little secluded from the roads and quad trail if at all possible. If that doesn't work than it will be to take the quad and cover ground with tires and glasses.

Post by: Elkgetr2 on May 25, 2014, 09:38:30 PM: I know they shoot some monsters out of there, but my buddy and I goal is for a mature mule deer buck with our bows regardless of score. If we get one that stretches the tape as well it will just e a bonus!!

Thanks,
Andrew

Post by: Hockman on May 26, 2014, 10:14:56 AM: I saw several bucks like this while hunting the area last season.
Title: Re: Area 6 Nevada early archery tag!
Post by: Hockman on May 26, 2014, 10:17:47 AM: These too...
Title: Re: Area 6 Nevada early archery tag!
Post by: Elkgetr2 on May 26, 2014, 10:49:09 AM: I would be thrilled to get one like that first one with my bow. Thanks for the pictures.

Post by: Elkgetr2 on May 26, 2014, 10:49:38 AM: What unit did you focus your attention on?
Title: Re: Area 6 Nevada early archery tag!
Post by: Hockman on May 26, 2014, 11:22:19 AM: From afar I focussed on 061 & 062 with a little on 067. Once I got down there I hunted 062 exclusively.

Post by: Pueblo on June 03, 2014, 07:25:43 AM: On my drive down to the Rubies last year I came down through this unit from Idaho, passing Wildhorse Res. I was going nuts looking at the mountains west of hwy 225 south of Owyhee, which I believe is 62 specifically. They looked absolutely perfect for spot and stalk mule deer. Tons of high, but not too steep terrain with nice ranches at the base. I have heard that ATV use is rampant, so escaping distractions might be a problem.
Title: Re: Area 6 Nevada early archery tag!
Post by: Elkgetr2 on June 03, 2014, 09:29:40 AM: The atv use is my biggest concern as well... We will see how it ends up being.

That country screams big mule deer when you see it.

Title: Re: Area 6 Nevada early archery tag!
Post by: grundy53 on June 09, 2014, 06:11:26 AM: I was going to apply for this area this year but drew the multi season elk tag here. So I decided not to. Hopefully next year. Good luck to you!

Post by: Elkgetr2 on June 21, 2014, 08:11:03 AM: Well I went scouting this weekend and I wish I could say I was going to be elk hunting and not deer hunting. I have seen 16 bulls 6 of which were already well on there way into the 300's. I have only seen four forked horn bucks though. There is still some snow up here so I am hoping that I am just ahead of the deer. I'm heading to a new area this afternoon so hopefully I will locate some bucks.

my buddies (jamesK) Nevada buck! Still hunting for my buck. Had a buck similar to his at 50 yards this morning with a bush in the way. One wind swirl and he was gone. Thank you Hockman for all of your help. It has proved to be priceless.
