Post by: GoldTip on May 28, 2010, 06:39:39 AM: Now don't take this to the bank or anything, but I believe in school they showed us one of those maps once and it is south of you somewhere, pretty sure. They called it a globe I believe. If you put your finger on where your at, Nevada would be toward the fatter part of the , er, globe. Yeah, that's it.

Heck, I sometimes drive 4-5 hours to hunt parts of WA. I'll take a Nevada tag any day regardless how far a drive it is.

Post by: boneaddict on May 28, 2010, 06:52:46 AM: I don't have a frickin clue. I assumed it was application 1341, but apparantly thats the group of hunts. I've had 3 hours sleep in three days compliments of work....bare in mind I can save your life if you are bleeding to death, thats autopilot, but do you think I can figure out what I put in for. :chuckle: At this point I am just happy they aren't telling me "USUCC....." Where is that kid that was asking how this feels.

DANG. Gonna have to sharpen up my stalking skills in that. LOL
Title: Re: HOLY $hit! I drew a tag
Post by: MuleySniper on May 28, 2010, 07:00:28 AM: Well that's cool you at least drew something! I'll have to check later and see if I ended up with anything.

Title: Re: HOLY $hit! I drew a tag
Post by: boneaddict on May 28, 2010, 08:12:22 AM: I did that once as a 4th choice about 4 years ago here in Washington. I had max points and of course was putting in for big buck hunts, I somehow threw down my fourth choice as desert, except I didn't catch that I put down an antlerless hunt by accident. I didn't find out until I got my not selected in the mail. SIGH of relief on THAT one. I hope I didn't jsut jinx myself.

Title: Re: HOLY $hit! I drew a tag
Post by: Romulus on May 28, 2010, 08:24:47 AM: Looks like you drew 101 late archery. I believe that is the Ruby Mt.s . Congrats and good luck I haven't hunted there but I have a friend who drew the late rifle there this year. Heard there is lots of deer and some pretty good bucks there. Not what it used to be I was told but you should see some 170 class bucks anyway. If you are like me just seeing a successful instead of all unsuccessful gives a boost in your step. Kill a giant.

Post by: GoldTip on May 28, 2010, 08:43:19 AM: Wow, damn pretty country right there. Never seen the Ruby's myself, unless I flew over them on the way to Vegas. Congrats Doug, I am sure you'll have a great hunt.

Title: Re: HOLY $hit! I drew a tag
Post by: bobcat on May 28, 2010, 11:18:39 AM: That's a great area to hunt. I've always wanted to apply in Nevada but never have, due to the low odds and the cost. Well Bone, you got the one "real" hunt you were wanting to do this year. Are you taking Idabooner with you?

THat hasn't been discussed though there is a pretty good chance it could happen. He is awefully fond of his slobbering snoreing dog that I am dreadfully allergic too and I'm not sure there is room in the truck for both of us. My luck Jack would get the walltent and stove and I'd ahve to sleep under a tree. :) I need to figure out a lot of logistics first. Now that I have one good tag, I should draw another one. I'm hopeing NM sheep, or Montana goat.
Title: Re: HOLY $hit! I drew a tag
Post by: boneaddict on May 28, 2010, 12:34:55 PM: Its pretty cool that half of those road signs are ELK CROSSING or MULEDEER (not the scrawny whitetail ones this state has) crossing signs.
Title: Re: HOLY $hit! I drew a tag
Post by: canyelk48 on May 28, 2010, 12:54:23 PM: Lots of 2-legged deer in Vegas; good luck with your hunt!

Title: Re: HOLY $hit! I drew a tag
Post by: buckhorn2 on May 28, 2010, 04:36:13 PM: I think there are some big sheep in the Ruby;s and some whopper bucks there can be some weather in november. Bone will bring back a big one for us to see.

Post by: Dansk on May 28, 2010, 08:15:59 PM: My buddy hunted the Ruby's last year on a guided hunt. He and his dad both shot decent bucks. Hunted Pasayten high buck with him a few years earlier- he said the ruby's were much less rugged, and the terrain was fairly open... trying to find the picks... will post if I can find them...

Post by: boneaddict on May 29, 2010, 07:07:33 AM: Thats awesome stuff right there. THANKS Dansk! I assume I'll be in the lower country that time of year I am hoping that the high country gets hammered and funnels all those babies right into my lap. I'm going to have lots of back up plans though. Considering I don't hardly have a clue at this point. Thanks again for those pics. Salivating!!! Nice buck too.

Post by: Clark33 on May 31, 2010, 11:47:48 AM: My Dad and I got drawn for the Ruby Mts. about 10 years ago, but we were archery hunting the late August hunt. Had a guy with horses drop us off quite a ways back up in there. Bucks were still in bachelor groups, awesome area and if the snow flies for ya it should be a stellar hunt. I'll ask my dad if he still has some pics saved somewhere.
Title: Re: HOLY $hit! I drew a tag
Post by: boneaddict on May 31, 2010, 01:05:59 PM: that would be Awesome. I'm sure I'll be in the lower country by then but it would all be cool to see, especially any game that game out of the region. I hope you find some to post.
Title: Re: HOLY $hit! I drew a tag
Post by: Hornseeker on June 01, 2010, 02:56:27 PM: Like someone said Bone, either kill or at least get a good pic of a Himalayan snow cock.... I guess its the only place around that has them? :dunno: Cool birds.....

I think he drew some higher country Littledave. Up in the Ruby's I believe.
Title: Re: HOLY $hit! I drew a tag
Post by: Little Dave on June 23, 2010, 12:17:35 AM: High country in the background. Picture was a few minutes before 3, so were a little east of Elko on I-80. We crossed the range on route 229. Stopped on the grade to change and feed the kid. I didn't take a picture from that point, but I remember it pretty good. Should be a fun hunt. We turned off the state route to Ruby Valley Road, probably a bit too rough for the wife's car.

Title: Re: HOLY $hit! I drew a tag
Post by: boneaddict on June 27, 2010, 08:24:35 AM: I bought a bunch of maps. The hunt area is HUGE. Its multiple units all rolled into one. I usually buy a bunch of USGS maps prior to every hunt, but I don't have that much coin for this one. It would be over $1000 in maps. I got some BLM ones that are sort of topographical. I have a feeling I'll be hunting the sage or lower country around those giant mountains. I think the hardest thing is to get onto a buck once you find one. I might have to extend my range. Still wanting to do longbow or Trad.

Post by: boneaddict on July 12, 2010, 09:35:58 AM: Its interesting the different opinions from folks about a given area about a hunt. I had a bunch of guys from nevada trying to talk me into turning the tag in. They thought the hunt was worthless. I was actually beginning to wonder what I got myself into. Then some other guys that live there chagned my mindset, then I got this pic, of a buck from a guy in California with my tag. I would shoot him in a heartbeat.....

Post by: boneaddict on July 15, 2010, 09:17:01 AM: I think they pretty much don't want the Non Residents to show up. They don't mind the money it brings in, but just assume we didn't shoot one of their dinks. :)

The way I am shooting right now, this could be interesting.

Title: Re: HOLY $hit! I drew a tag
Post by: Pathfinder101 on July 15, 2010, 10:34:52 AM: Bone,
Any story behind that big buck in the Pickup? I notice he's not cut into itty-bitty pieces, and the Ruby's are pretty remote. Private land buck maybe...? :dunno:
Title: Re: HOLY $hit! I drew a tag
Post by: boneaddict on July 15, 2010, 10:58:01 AM: Most of the deer are out of the Ruby's by this late hunt. At least we hope. The guy is from california, and it must have been year before last becasue according to the harvest reports, no bucks were harvested in last years hunt. (second hand)

Post by: eastside boy on July 16, 2010, 05:57:31 PM: If you can get your hands on EBJ issue 57 (Jan/Feb 2010), there is a good article about a father son hunt that took place in the Ruby Mountains, they both got nice bucks. Just FYI

Post by: Wazukie on September 16, 2010, 08:24:58 AM: Missed this thread Bone, but I can tell you you will have a great hunt. I lived in Round Mountain Nevada for 3 years and man I saw a Lot of huge mullies. Never got to hunt the area, was always busy in the fall. But I spent a lot of time in the mountains of central Nevada. Put in the effort as I know you will and you should have a great time.

Post by: Hornseeker on September 16, 2010, 09:40:57 AM: So did Bone die on the hill somewhere???when was he expected back?? Rack was probably so big he has to clear a road out to get the dam buck out....

Bone...where are ya/? :chuckle:

I feel like the mountain boned me out. Couldn't find the one worth notching the tag for here.

I haven't hardly looked at Nevada. Believe it or not I am not that stoked. I SHOULD be, but with kids sports and everything and I am normally doing photography. I haven't gotten my tag in the mail and I should have by now. I need to follow through with that the first of this week.
