You Can Never Go Wrong With Premature Scouting

It may seem a bit premature to begin scouting for deer when we still have 47 days left till opening weekend, but any excuse to get off road every weekend and see some of Nevada's wildlife works for us. With two and a half days to scout, the trip planned out and three areas plotted on the maps, we were off and running and loving every minute of it.

Lucky for us we did come across a few bachelor herds with some rather decent looking 3 and 4 point bucks, but there was nothing that would break any of the current Nevada State Records. All I know is that none of us minded not seeing a HUGE Mule Deer especially since that might take away from all of the excitement that we have left to look forward too in the next 47 days till opening season.
