    I understood from a fellow I know, his favorite was the Rose mtns, southeast of Ely.

    Every body in Nevada hunts deer (that's all they have)
    they close down buz. to hunt..there are only 5 deer left in Nevada

    good luck.

    The other highway may be 6, the "Grand Army of the Republic" highway. Are the White Pine Mtns in your unit?

    Yeah I googled it you will be on the other side of the mtn range from me. My wife and I are going to apply for Antelope tags this year. We have a herd of about 50 that come by every day. Some come up to about 30 yards from our trailer. One big guy has horns twice as high as his ears.

    Congrats ... there are good bucks to be had in NV, especially so to the North and/or even more so those Eastern areas. What I wouldn't have given to be able to hunt there abouts.

    Can not help you with that area ... I have hunted Mulies in several areas ... but all are a bit further West than your area, sorry about that.

    Do know that there is good game there abouts ... access for hunting is generally the greatest obstacle ... but apparently you have that end of things covered. Some very classy Mulies in that neighborhood ( and as mentioned above ... the Rubies esta bien, tambien!!! )

    ((I had lived in the Reno-Carson City areas and property there abouts and know some of that country pretty well ... but did not "hunt" it. Had I a permit such as yours, would have been great, as I did know the where abouts of game. Never did draw a regular tag for that area either!))

    I travel through that unit every year heading to my Colorado hunt. It's located on the south side of Hi 50 between Eureka & Ely. Elk and deer warning signs posted all along the highway on that unit. You should do well with a late season hunt.

    I followed this guy from Eureka to Fallon.

    Thanks everyone, woodhog, yes the white pines are in that unit. Some other areas are the Bald,Currant and Red mountains, I think some of those areas are within wilderness.Torosapo,good luck on drawing tags,I got a nice goat in northern Cal. several years ago, missed B&C by 5/8". 17" tall but had week cutters.

    There is a Rose Mtn. on the Cal-Nev Border, but the Rose Mtns. are southeast of Ely, near Great Basin-Lehman Cave Nat'l Park. Its also known for Elk hunting, tho hard to draw. I know one fellow who tried for twenty years before finally getting a tag, but he said it was worth it.

    I almosyt hit a bull elk this morning driving into town and saw two cows on my way home less than 30 min later. I couldn't see how many points but he should be a good one this fall.

    I have seen herds of 15-20 mulies, 90-100 antelope, more elk than you can shake a stick at... You just can't shoot 'em where I've seen 'em.

    Thanks Fishkiller, unfortunatly it doesnt look lile were getting those tags. The land owner found out we were califonians and said he wouldnt let us on his ranch unless supevised,wont even sell em to us if we dont hunt his ranch. To many aholes giving us a bad name i suppose. I knew I was born in the wrong state! Back to montana, will know in april.
