Nevada FNG, fantastic new guy?

[JasonGNV]

Just wanted to introduce myself, love this site and finally signed up and can't get enough! Awesome tips and some amazing hunters on this site. I just happened upon you guys and I'm glad I did. I'm new to archery hunting but have hunted (rifle) for years, I chase lions and bobcats with my hounds during the winter and chase mulies as often as I can draw. This forum just might get me hunting deer or something of the ungelet variety every year, thanks Robbie and all you guys!

Jason, welcome and you suck. Sick that you get to hunt lions and bobcats there. I never understood why non residents can't hunt bobcats in NV. Luckily I can call them over the border to kill them.

Where abouts in Nv? A few vegas guys here and some renoites hanging about
Welcome!.

I'm sitting right between gardnerville and topaz lake, called double springs! Smack dab in the middle of the pine nut mountains and the Carson range. Sucks you Cali boys can't run cats! I'm about a mile from the Cali border and have had some issues with that imaginary line running cats and bears. Have a nasty fire in the pine nuts going right now, burning up unit 291 and some beautiful country. I know Mt. Charleston is a blaze too! You guys can still call bobbers right, just no dogs? Hard stalk, you a Vegas guy?

 

[Hardstalk]

carpenters is definitely a blaze. Heres the smoke from vegas. Apparently the turtle crew wont let fighters do their job. Some good cat country getting smoked right now. I keep checkin ndow for a update wether or not there going to release some tags after/during the burns.

I am a renoite here! It's too bad about that fire in the nut range. Welcome!!

 

[Slim Jim]

Welcome Jason, that fire is looking like its about to come up and over Lovell canyon and into red rock canyon right behind my house. It looks wicked

I thought that you could only trap bobcats in NV? I was only about 5-10yrds away from one last year in the Rubys. He walked right up to me and stood on a rock, then he just yawned and stood there for a couple minutes. I had an arrow nocked and kept talking to him telling him that if he takes another step that I'm putting an arrow in him haha. He finally decided to walk off

You can cage cats in Cali but no footholds, hounds where banned last year. I work in Smith Valley and watched the nuts all day, fire went from 9300 to 17,000 in about 12 hours. I had a rifle tag with my bro in the nuts last year, the past 3 years have been really bad for fires here in my area. Nice to meet some NV. guys here and love the site. Nice to see that some people like to work fortheir trophy no matter the size and wear out some boots, to many people think there a$$'s are better off in there cooshy truck seats! I see (and learn) so much more miles from the beaten path.

But you have to leave it here dont you?

 

[JasonGNV]

Its not legal to have a lion hide, mount, etc. in Cali but bobbers is OK. Only residents are allowed to trap/hunt bobcats in NV. Lions are open year round to anybody OTC. I know a guy in Cali that traps Cali, AZ and Utah I believe that makes a fantastic living for 3 months.

Jason welcome. I was born in gardnerville and my grandpa had a house on topaz lake. Love that area.
