I have unit 30, third season 2024. I will be hunting near Garvey Canyon. Any other tips you could offer would be most appreciated. I am from Nevada and this will be my first scouting/hunting trip to this area.I think there has been a 90% success rate for several years. No doubt you can kill "a" buck in 30 pretty easy even on a warm weather year if you just want any buck. The warm weather is what made it a bad year. The weather makes the difference in the quantity and quality of deer that you will see. It is steeper and thicker than unit 21 to the north.

rubicon,I read somewhere that the kill rates were in the 90%+ range for the last 3 years. That's pretty darned high for anywhere. Still hopeful. I'll hunt hard and away from roads if I need to. Also will take the whole time if needed.
Foundation;I hunted in the Baxter pass and Prairer ( spell check ) canyon the whole time . I was in unit 30 for sure , I talked with the Fish and Game Officer a couple of times in the field , and he made it a point to go over my maps with me . It was actually good that he went over my maps due to the fact I had some people tell me about spots to watch that where actually in unit 21 . I also thought according to the unit description I was able to hunt North of the Baxter Pass ridge .
All the locals that where elk huntin said it was an off year , and the deer just were not there .
