Taos,

From about Tonopah, North. I have my deer tag in area 17, the exact center of the State this year. There is a high plateau I climb up onto that has a good deer population, as well as sagehen at a spring near the top and chucker along the rim. I can drive about half way up, then hoof it the rest of the way. There is a road along the East foot of the plateau, so I confine my hunting to the middle-Eastward. The nearest road to drag a deer to on the West side is about 7 miles away, and some of that is up hill through the sage and mahogany.

I'll have horses next season and will venture West farther, if any of us gets a tag. I have taken many Blue Grouse while deer hunting...great eating! I get them mostly in Elko and White Pine Cos. I used to hunt the Rubies allot and would at times come off the hill with blues, ruffed grouse, sagehen, chucker and a deer. The California blight has moved in along the base of the Rubies, and these citified Bozos have blocked much of our access. They wonder why we spit on them at every opportunity! When we find the Kalifornikators with their tits in the ringer out somewhere in the desert, we tend to just push harder on the gas and dust them as we pass.

Nevada has changed so much in the last ten years that I'm ducking out to move permanently to a place that has ice and snow where they won't go, at least as many of them.

Do I sound bitter? You bet your ass I'm bitter!

We were hoping that AIDS would be the Great Basin's salvation...it wasn't...
