Dry in Nevada this year. But deer to be found

[mevertsen]

My wife daughter and I went to the hills west of the house this morning. Left the house at 9, back by noon.

Saw a doe and fawn, lone doe, and 2 bucks and 2 does I suspect were last years fawns in one group.

Tied very close to water. Places that have had small meadows are very dry. Little spring creeks, no snow pack (though where I plan to hunt top is 8000 feet or so.

Toad tadpoles in the creek.

Good day.

Sounds like a great morning. Seeing that many deer, especially the doe with her fawn, is always a good sign. The fact that they were staying close to water doesn’t surprise me with how dry things are getting. No snowpack and drying meadows will probably keep wildlife concentrated around those remaining water sources. The tadpoles are a good indicator that at least some of those little creeks are still holding on. Thanks for sharing the update sounds like a productive day in the hills.
