Title: Nevada 065
Post by: lemondog on June 12, 2012, 07:19:25 PM: Awesome! I drew one of the 3 non-res rifle tags.Had 7 points. Going self guided and 4 good hunting pals are coming along. We will be looking for a good one. Lots of research and work to do. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Just found out also that one of the crew (Willy) drew one of the 6 Clockum Archery Elk tags here in Washington state!. We will be busy.

Post by: lemondog on June 13, 2012, 09:07:24 PM: Have not called anyone as of yet, still learning the unit. I am not suprised the Nevada guys talk it down. They probably don't want you to apply there. It is true some of it has burned and they have got the total herd size down some but it is being managed for mature buck escapement. There are some toads living there. Now, finding one will be the trick. I will be taking a scouting trip next month.

Post by: lemondog on June 17, 2012, 04:42:57 PM: SW of Elko is correct. There is a really good archery hunt just east of my unit in the Ruby's. It is a November rut hunt...I almost put it on my application but decided to go modern.
