    Slow around here

    Wow! I've been gone since the 17th and there are no new posts of animals on our NV forum. Surely someone has had some success out in our NV hunts so far.

    Wild elk?

    Last week while driving down the highway north of San Luis Res we saw a herd of elk in a big field. Are those wild Tule elk or are they a captive herd? Just curious since I've never seen elk in CA before.

    New NV regulation

    NDOW approved this new regulation on shed antler hunting. I'm not sure if it is in effect now or whether it starts next year. Just something to be aware of for you shed hunters. http://www.ndow.org/Our_Agency/News/Articles/Wildlife_Commission_Adopts_Shed_Antler_Regulation/

    Mountain lion

    How many of you guys that pick up a mountain lion tag to have in case you happen to see one during your hunts have ever gotten lucky? I've been buying one ever since I had a lion at about 40 yards during an archery hunt in the Ruby's 7 or 8 years ago and didn't have a tag and I wasn't fast...

    Nevada Moose

    About 15-20 years ago I saw a picture in the Elko newspaper of a small bull moose said to be taken near Jarbidge. I figured it was just a young bull wandering from Idaho in search of cows. I never thought the day would come where we have an actual population of moose, however small. Anyone ever...

    Neighborhood predator

    Saw this guy behind the house the other day when I looked out to see what all the ravens were doing out there. After they all left I went to see what they were eating and found the remains of someones dog. When the coyote left it took the head with it perhaps to give to pups in a den. Almost...

    Venting

    I know this is a hunting forum but I just have to vent somewhere. It really pisses me off that some a**hole did this again at Comins Lake just outside of Ely NV. It was quite the trophy trout fisherie until somebody introduced northern pike into it about 15 years ago. They just decimated the...

    Who's first?

    Since I drew 0 tags this year I'm living vicariously through those of you who will be hunting big game this year. Who is going to be the first one to post pics of their NV big game? Good luck to you all on your hunts.

    Reno area spring runoff

    Being from southern NV I was surprised to see just how much runoff there is this year in the Reno area. On the eastern side of Fallon where the Newlands Irrigation Project is has water covering the entire valley on each side of hiway 95 as far as the eye can see. I have not seen water like that...

    Elk shanks

    Cooked up some elk shanks from my last cow elk. They came out absoutely delicious and they took a lot less time to cook than last years antelope shanks. Seasoned and floured them before browning in a dutch oven then cooked in a crockpot with mushrooms, onions, carrots, celery and a few spices...

    Cow elk

    Headed out in the morning for my late season cow elk hunt in area 231. Had the same tag 2 years ago and it was bitter cold, hopefully the weather forcast is correct in that it doesn't show any below 0 temps for the coming week only low 20's. We did see a couple of monster bulls before I got my...

    New Year

    Hope everyone had a great New Year. My wife and I spent it watching my BIL and his band play at the Stock Exchange in Bisbee Arizona in the heart of desert muledeer country. That desert is some amazing country. Saw my second ever desert muledeer ever but I was not fast enough to get a pic. The...

    Bird watching

    Any amateur ornithologists out there? We put birdseed out for the birds recently and finally saw some birds we have never seen in our area. First there was only one and now there are four. We live in southern Nevada so I'm thinking maybe they only winter here. Any ideas?

    Just wanted to give my .02 worth the cover story of the Oct-Nov issue. While that is truely a magificent buck, I don't really enjoy reading about a buck that was being watched all summer long along with another monster buck on private property by the guide. Basically the "hunter" just showed up...
