    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...

    Post Up a Pic Of Your First Elk!

    My first and only NV bull from 1996. Building points again and hopefully will draw another one before I'm too darn old.

    What was your heaviest load???

    Heaviest load was when my brother and I packed out my Ruby's buck whole a couple of miles, thankfully it was mostly downhill. We took turns carrying the buck. When I dropped it off at the processor he weighed in at 126 lbs. minus the head and lower legs. We were much younger and dumber but...

    What Scope...

    Leupold scopes on both rifles are the originals I bought in 1980 and 1983. They both work as good as the day they were bought. VX-II and VX-III I wouldn't have any other scopes. I have never seen the need to change what works.

    Neighborhood predator

    Actually with all the rain and snow last winter we have an abundance of rabbits this year. I have counted as many as 14 cottontails eating holes in my lawn this year. I have seen the coyotes give chase to the rabbits but only for a few yards. I guess those pets are much easier to catch.

    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...

    Favorite Gamebird and Why?

    For me it would be chukars. The nasty country the inhabit makes it very rewarding when you finally down one. Plus they are substantial in size so there a very tasty meal at the end of the day. Hunting them is frustating and rewarding at the same time.

    What attracts deer when hunting?

    This usually attracts deer like crazy.

    Baiting elk...

    This would be about as sporting as shooting a cow standing in a field.

    Smoker: electric or propane

    I have a Masterbuilt electric smoker and I must say I like it. It has a remote sensor that tells me the temp inside the smoker and the internal temp of whatever I'm smoking. I just roll it out of the shed and plug it in. No need to worry about whether I have enough propane for however many hours...

    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.
