I was able to make it up this past weekend, though due to family obligations I was only able to get out for about 3 hours.
I took your advice and cruised up Winnemucca Ranch Road. Mostly looking for access and places I want to check out more. Everything was really green still. I saw a lot of...
Thanks for the info. Not sure when I will be able to come up and scout. Need to figure out work schedules. We have a bunch of people to come visit too. It will either be later this month, or sometime in July.
Hello everyone. I managed, as a non-resident, to pull this tag this year! I grew up in Reno, so I have a general idea of the area, but haven't lived there for 15 years, so will be slightly blind. I have a family friend in the area who is going to do some research and I also plan to make a trip...
I am way late on commenting on this, but I just accomplished that over Christmas, and complimented it with a mullet...my wife is not happy, but worth it!
I didnt do as much land hunting as I may have wanted this year, but I did get underwater a good amount. I mostly harvested crustaceans this year, having a particular good time with dungies in June.

Have fun. The Channel Islands are great (in fact I am going to Catalina in early February). I have been doing a bit of spearfishing in NorCal, but on SCUBA so I can go with my wife.
We spent some time on the Oregon coast this summer. We didn't do any diving, but I was scouting spots the whole time. Looked a lot like what we have here in NorCal and I think I will have to go back and investigate!
To finish it all off, here is the completed mount. I work for a brewery and got a used Willett barrel that also aged an imperial coffee stout which I broke down to create this mount. It is above our TV, at my wife's suggestion, where I get to look at it and think about an awesome hunt every day...
