Owen's friend, Nolan, and step brother, Caleb, went deer hunting in the rugged Desatoya mountains in N Central NV this weekend. Owen had a little bit of local knowledge and acted as guide. With resident deer tags so hard to draw now, only Nolan had a tag.

The Desatoyas are a small but rugged range, and hunting them can be work. Well, about 1:00 p.m. today they roll in with this nice mulie. Nolan dumped him about 8:00 this morning. We hoisted him up with the tractor, and the guys got busy skinning.

I'm waiting on a few other photos from in the field.
I can't tell you how proud I am of all three, Owen, Nolan, and Caleb. They're ethical hunters who work their tails off.





The Desatoyas:

Congrats to all of you. That looks like a great buck to my untrained midwestern eye and and an even better hunt.

👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 Great job young men!!!

Nice buck!

Just received this photo from Owen. The deer after it was field dressed



The liver was great, nice and mild, so the meat should be real good.

Looking good, thanks for sharing.

Nice buck.

I hunted the range south of Austin maybe 25 years ago, have to go out in the barn to see what year I killed my only Nevada buck. I recall jets flying down the range , amazing sound and speed when you're 5 miles from nowhere and not expecting a show. I assume they were out of Fallon.

Sad to learn a few years ago that local's have to draw. Is the deer population being regulated due to low numbers, or are there too many locals hunting making drawing tags hard? I recall we put in and drew as out of state hunters, but believe it was easy for locals to draw tags.

Good job boys

Good for them. Very refreshing to see. That’s a wonderful experience they can all carry with them the rest of their lives.
I would’ve liked to tore into those liver & onions, lol.

Great story!

That’s awesome Bruce!
Tell those fine young men Congratulations from me.

Great to see and hear.

I am fortunate to be acquainted with quite a few fine young men, both relatives and friends. They are out there, more than MSM would have us think.

Thanks for the post!
