073 is a lot of public land to the north, checkerboarded to the south, but no real issues as far as access goes. You will find the elk in two main areas. Double Mountain/Devil's armchair on the west, and Stag Mountain on the east.

I think the easiest place to get a camp trailer would be to go to Deeth, turn right onto the main road, and then take the first road that goes back North under the interstate. The second road that goes under the interstate will take you into 075. The first road will take you to Stag Mountain.

To get to Double Mountain, go north on Mountain City Highway, and then just look for the sign that says North Fork/Double Mountain, about 35 miles north. Not many places to get a camper in there, unless you go farther north and find something off of the Charleston Road.

The west side is mostly cheatgrass and sage. The east side on Stag there is more aspen.

Also, I think you can hunt in a part of Stud creek, which is close to the Orange Bridge, but it flows into 072, so you have to be careful of where you are.

Any more questions, PM me your phone number and I can call you with more info. I will be done hunting by then, so I can even help you out if you like.

This will be an easy area to hunt, as there are a lot of good roads, but still be prepared to hike up to a mile or so to get into elk, and possibly pack one out on your back. Not sure how much time you can take off, but you might also be able to wait for one to get into a better spot also.

finnbear - unfortunately with NV, you don't just buy the tag. Its a lottery draw, and you can place 5 choices. You never know which choice that you will end up with. In 2005, I was scouting my first choice unit before the draw, as I thought it was a sure bet, and then drew my second choice, which was 200 miles in the opposite direction!!

That's how it goes I guess.
