Title: Nevada bull hunt 2025
Post by: andrew_in_idaho on July 08, 2025, 07:48:43 AM: I drew an elk tag in Nevada, later rifle season dates. I took a scouting trip over the 4th of July weekend with my 9 and 10 year old sons. Here’s some pics from the trip for your enjoyment. I’ll update once the season gets here as well.

Speaking with a local rancher he said those bulls will probably be pretty close to the same area come November. Seems like the bulls come down low(7-8000’) to rut, then head back up to 10,000+ until the snow really pushes em down. I’ve spent most of my time in Idaho hunting between 5000’ & 8000’ so this 10,000’+ stuff is new to me but I also have a Utah muzzy deer tag that is gonna get me into some real high country as well.

Big mature bulls are done growing by 3rd week in July and some sooner.

Well, if she does. At least you will have died doing what you love to do! :chuckle:

Post by: andrew_in_idaho on November 24, 2025, 07:56:03 PM: Well, the initial trip did not go all that well. With no weather to speak of most of the elk are holding up 3+ miles and 3000+ feet of vertical gain from the road system. Saw a few bulls, made some rough hikes to try and get to them and came home empty handed. Now I’m working all week and heading back next Friday with the possibility to hunt through end of season on the 4th
