I drew Nevada Mule Deer!!

oregoncritters12 · 06-09-2008, 08:42 AM

Now the question is "Where?" Checked this morning and my credit card had been charged for Nevada Mule Deer tags..I've drawn twice in the past several years and killed two very nice bucks..I can't wait to find out where..With an Aug 1st start date, i will have all the time i need to whack a good one...Here are the two bucks from the past two trips...

CONGRATS on the draw..

Congrats Jody. I just found out that I drew my Colorado Rifle deer tag. Good luck on finding another wall hanger. Wheels.

Awesome Wheels, Make one of those giants pay...I hiked back into where we hung that camera and a bear tore it apart....

Great news! Look forward to seeing pics of another fuzzy horned monster Come August. Those are dandy bucks!

D3smartie · 06-09-2008, 09:21 AM

Congrats. What areas did those two come from?
We used to go every year I was in HighSchool out to NE NV and hunt the early season. Damn it was hot though.
sure do miss that hunt.

Congrats on the draw. I have been putting in for Nevada Mule deer for the past 4 yrs. without any luck. Good luck on this years hunt.

OR_Bo_Huntr · 06-09-2008, 11:50 AM

Congrats Jody!

Looks like another MD will fall victim to the SOUTH COAST KILLA

Limbhanger · 06-09-2008, 12:43 PM

This time, will you please hold out for a big one......geez.

Congrats Jody, cant wait to see the pics!!!

Beamerfish · 06-09-2008, 12:57 PM

And so it begins. Nice work! Keep those cards and letters coming.

Do you know where you got drawn, or is it a where ever tag? Last year my friend was successful in unit 171 and 172. Anywhere near Elko is going to be good, I think unit 68 and near it are the pretty hot as well as the North Western part of the state. Here is the link to NDOW harvest statistics.

OC12,

Us public school employees love those August hunts... which is why I can't wait to draw my pronghorn tag.

Congrats on the draw! Nice drop tine on the one mulie. Will you haul the goats to Nevada???

Mine took a $10 hit today???? How do I find out what it is for??

scoutdog5 · 06-09-2008, 11:05 PM

Oregoncritter, congrats.

huntinfool, I believe the 4 10.00 charge means you did not get drawn, but you are in the lottery for a super tag. I think for non-residents the only super tag is for deer. I could be wrong about this, but that is what I recall about Nevada's system. I know residents get hit for as many as 6 $ 10.00 charges because they have super tags for all species.

No, i won't bring the goats on that hunt..Depending on what unit i drew, i will either get packed in or simply hike..Lots of variety in units over there. A good friend will be going with me for his first experience of Nevada, he's in for a treat..

HuntinFool, yep, that 10.00 charge sucks..I've been hit with that for two years straight...

OR_Bo_Huntr · 06-10-2008, 08:14 AM

You think you'll pull any good Oregon tags Jody?

oregoncritters12 · 06-10-2008, 08:20 AM

I know i'll draw at least one good Oregon tag...Elk hunting on the coast

Probably draw a sheep and goat tag as well. Might as well get them out of the way while i'm still young...

OR_Bo_Huntr · 06-10-2008, 08:30 AM

You see the limited entry late hunts they added?
Beulah is callin' me

Santiam338 · 06-10-2008, 08:32 AM

Looking forward to pics and write up come Aug...

Good luck AND kill a biggun this time..

Beamerfish · 06-10-2008, 08:33 AM

I still waiting for the day when I hit the jackpot and draw multiple premium tags in the same year. Now, wouldn't that be a fine dilemma? Let's see, pass on a hunt or take the whole fall off. Hmmm....

oregoncritters12 · 06-10-2008, 09:35 AM

OR Bow Htr,
I did see all those new late hunts..Sure to be pretty good...However, I figured i would wait and see how they acutally shape up before i burn a bunch of points on them..It would take a pretty awesome late hunt for me not to hunt blacktails..So, after you go hunt it, let me know....

Beamerfish,
I would be forced to quit my job...But i would eventually find another one so i could pay for some mounts....

OR_Bo_Huntr · 06-10-2008, 10:36 AM

Jody,
Can you make sure they get me that tag then

lol
Tell 'em Ill just field test the hunt

Beamerfish · 06-10-2008, 10:37 AM

Not to mention building a new wing on the house to hold all the taxidermy!

I am sure you would be a successful guide or taxidermist........

I actually just finished a new trophy room so at least i wouldn't have to stress about that..I just had a new shop built and framed in a 12x30 room for my mounts and hunting crap..It will be under lock and key so i never lose anything Sara thinks shouldn't be laying around the house

Beamerfish · 06-10-2008, 02:18 PM

Plus that way she is less likely to get in there and start a full inventory.

spottedhawk36 · 06-10-2008, 07:55 PM

very nice bucks

A Mule Deer tag is one of the best reasons to go to Nevada ... in my opinion. (That or recovering a lost stash of gold from the 1800's)

Are you planning to go with archery gear on your sheep and goat tag this year? For the goat tag I am drawing in Oregon I am thinking a flint lock rifle hunt.

Hope the R Mt Goat tag comes in for you. I'd like to see some photos of your domestic goats packing out your Oregon Rocky Mt Goat.

I was actually considering using an Atlatal?? for the sheep, but the goat i will stick with archery gear...My goats may have mixed feeling packing out one of their own kind..I'll just blindfold em!

Nevada is an archery tag...

It might make them think twice before giving you any guff out on the trail !!
