What zone to deer hunt in?
- Thread starter CAB
- Start date
I drew a deer tag in Ely 3 years ago and got a small buck, drew an elk tag in this area above Pahrump 2 years ago and got a bull. While elk hunting I saw at least 6 bucks so I know where they are and how to hunt them here. With the price of fuel I am going to put in for rifle and muzzle loader here first and second and Ely early season for third choice.
This is only my second year for big game but a good place is 111-116...they are generally not the largest but there are a lot of tags and game there. If you are going for size I believe it was 10-18 maybe but then there are very few tags, around 10-20. Hope that helps. You can also go to huntnevada.com and check out last years results to help narrow it down a bit.
Google-Fu!

Ely appears to be at the juncture of 121 (to the North), 131 (to the West), 221 (to the South), and 111 (to the East).

rubies aka ruby mountians way up north elko area is a decent area to hunt but a 7-8 hr drive from vegas and be careful the highway that says turn your lights on please save yourself the ticket and turn them on and go the posted speed limits as they will pull you over. My daughter for her first deer @ Angel Lake just past Elko.
Ely is a good spot also smaller deer but closer to vegas only 3-4hrs but decent areas if you do Modern rifle bow or black powder is a better choice to hunt.

I did 121 last year, it is right outside of Ely. It was my first time applying. Now i did some scouting before. i saw a lot of antelope. But only a doe as far as a mule deer. This is what I got.
Now there is a magazine called Eastmans, I just got in the mail thats breaks down sections with facts. i would suggest it.
Good luck.

Ok, being from Carlin(right on the Elko\Eureka county borders on I 80) I have put in for area 6, all of them, most of area 7 and 10. Granted I have put in for the last few years and have failed to draw. My antelope and Elk tags are a mix of a bunch of areas around here as well as down by Ely. Hopefully I can get something this year. If so, no matter how big or small, Im posting pics........Even if its just of the freaking tag 
Here are my favorites:
1 - 131-134 late
2 - 221 -223 late
3 - 131 -134 early
4 - 221 - 223 early
5 - 231
They are all between Pioche and Ely, there is a decent amount of game in the area....bad part is there is also a decent amount of hunters in the area
