Drew Elk tag in Nevada Unit 7 area 073 need advice
Hi;
I just found out I drew a rifle Cow Elk tag in Unit 7 sub area 073. The season is Oct. 1 thru Oct. 19, 2010.
I was hoping someone could give me some info. on Elk in the area which is bounded by I80 between Elko and Deeth on the south; the Wildhorse Highway on the west; Mary's river on the East and extends north almost to Charlston.
NDOW has very little info on their site.
Questions:
The wife and I are planning a camping trip to area 073 to get a feel for it in the next couple weeks or so. What would be a good place to camp (we have a small camp trailer and can dry camp if needed and do not need an established campground)?
Where are the best concentrations of Elk (I realize they move around and where they are now will not be where they are in Oct.)?
If the Elk are on private ground (I see there is a lot of private shown on the maps) are there any ranches that allow hunting with permission)?
Any help from anyone familiar with the area would be greatly appreciated.
Thanx, Jim
