Mule Deer in Nevada

I think I've got eleven points in Nevada.

Beautiful buck, very sincere and huge congratulations to the hunter.

Darn Vaughn, that's a sod of a muley buck. Congrats to your buddy.

On the plains of hesitation lie the bleached bones of ten thousand, who on the dawn of victory lay down their weary heads resting, and there resting, died.

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with Kings - nor lose the common touch...
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And - which is more - you'll be a Man, my son!

Use Enough Gun

Yes it is Russell.

Scott: I had 12 preference points here in Nevada in 2017 and used them on a hunt that fall. Didn't see a buck worth shooting in a full week of hard hunting and it was Area 24-the primo area.

Was an expensive hunt, with a guide and all. But, that's hunting. I'll never wait that long again to put in for the good areas. They say that I could have drawn Area 24 with 5 preference points, so in essence, I wasted points and years by waiting. Africa was calling me every year and that was the real reason that I didn't get serious again about Nevada mule deer until last year.

Thats a beaut! Ive been saving up points for the Henry's here in Utah for well over a decade now. Some day I'll draw it.

Im curious, what bullets does he use in his 25-06?

Truly magnificent buck. CONGRATULATIONS to the hunter.

Wstrnhuntr: Not sure what he used. The gun that he shot the big mule deer with was borrowed from his guide, so I must suppose that the guide had also supplied the ammo. Cal (the hunter) told me that his boys were using his regular deer rifle on another hunt, and so he chose to use the guide's gun which had been made available to him.

The mule deer buck of a lifetime, for sure!

Its been life more than points that've kept me waiting. Recently I've been to occupied in other directions to do much more than buy points. I think I've got more or less ten points in Oregon too.

Ive got lots of ideas about a horseback hunt or a drop camp or back pack in somewhere,.....who knows.

In the mean time theres pheasants and mallards, trout and moose, yeah! maybe even a trip back to Africa.

Excessive regulations and rules keep a lot of people form hunting places.

Awesome buck!

What did they age him at?

23 October 2018, 08:08

Use Enough Gun

Tree'Em: Not sure his age. I'll ask the next time that I talk with Cal. Nevada is a draw state. No over the counter tags, with the exception of Mountain Lion. EVERY big game animal is a draw here (Elk, Antelope, Mule Deer, Big Horn Sheep, Mountain Goat, Bear). Moose and Wolf are illegal to harvest (Never seen either here, but who knows).
