    Has Anyone else hunted "Burro Deer" ? Any Stories about them?

    There is no real difference between them besides the fact that they are regionally adapted. They have less fat because they dont have the feed to build fat and their body burns fat quicker while trying to keep cool on the hot heat, and can survive on leaner feed because th dont need the...

    Nevada 062 Elk

    My Dad does the archery cow elk hunt up there a lot. He tells me those elk move a lot. They will see then thick one day, then the next day they are miles away only to end up back where they first saw them later. Some years they hardly see any all season, then the next year they are everywhere...

    Trapping Thread 2025/2026

    I was shocked when I got my bid sheet back and the Fallon Fur Sale. I thought there was a typo. I got more of those 5 cats than I did for 14 the year before

    Trapping Thread 2025/2026

    Haha I am way late to the party. With kids sports and the lack of a 4wd truck, we were limited to 25 days of trapping in places my 2wd work truck to get me and only about 15 traps. Ended up with 5 cats. And of course we have record high prices on the only year I've had to limit my trapping haha.

    Still Hunting Mule Deer in the Mountain West?

    I'm similar to you, I hate gassing. That being said, I do glass a lot. But after a couple hours, I normally end up still hunting bedding areas, or find a good track and follow it. I do it for elk and deer, and have even had success with antelope. I've had success with both archery and rifle...

    2026 NV results

    I got a 26 archery deer (burned 10 points because I got sick of waiting for the ALW tag), my buddy drew a 26 ALW deer tag (with half the points I had), and he also drew a 161-162 pronghorn tag. So August will be busy, with a couple month break, then chasing rutting desert bucks in Novemeber

    Nevada 261-268 Archery Deer

    I've been wanting to do this hunt for years now. I was applying for the ALW hunt, and this year decided just to burn my 10 points on an archery tag. This is the unit I trap all fall and winter, shed hunt in the spring, and ride my dirt bike all summer. Very not many deer, and the deer move a...

    2026 NV results

    I was hoping they would post something about the live draw, but I haven't been able to find anything. That gives the best idea when results will be posted. Has anyone heard anything?

    Nevada Area 24

    This is the kind of stuff I would focus on if I had the tag. I've trapped in some of this country and saw tracks and a few deer.

    7mm08

    I've had 4 killed with mine from ranges of 200 yards to 500 yards. They all did the job nicely, except one at 250 yards. A friend was using my gun and hit it a little back. One more shot from 300 yards put it down. Shot placement is more important than caliber. I have a buddy in Montana who...

    My REAL Nevada Tag Results

    So my last post was a fake picture of my results. I normally do this on Instagram just to see peoples reactions about why I have my results but they don't have theirs. I got rid of all social media (besides a few hunting forums) because of how addictive and time consuming it was to me...

    Nevada 2022 Tag Results Were Good To Me

    Nevada 2022 Tag Results Were Good To Me

    That was a joke post I made. Only drew a shorter than ears antelope tag which is fine with me because my 7 year old really wants to go on a hunt with me and its the perfect hunt to take a kid on.
