Where to find mule deer in 151-156

Focus on north-facing aspens and high-country basins early, then work mid-elevation PJ benches as temperatures cool. Transition-zone sage holds bucks during the rut and late season.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where should I base out of?
Austin and Eureka on US-50 are the typical base towns. Both offer fuel, lodging, and basic groceries.
Is 4x4 required?
High-clearance is strongly recommended; 4x4 is helpful in late-season snow and after rain on clay-bottomed roads.
Is this a good first-time Nevada pronghorn hunt?
Yes — 151/153/156 combines high tag numbers, 80%+ rifle success, and graded road access, making it a common entry-level choice.
Can a non-resident draw this with zero bonus points?
In many recent years, yes — especially on archery or muzzleloader tags. Rifle odds are tighter but still reachable.
