What do think is Nevadas best antelope unit for sheer numbers of trophy bucks?

personally i think they are all pretty good, its just a matter of getting out there and finding a hunny hole that nobody else hunts. 061-064,071,073 is a good unit for both trophy bucks and high numbers, plus its farily easy to draw. honestly, i havent found a bad unit in the state its just a matter of busting the sage.

You asked about the best and 33 is it. You might be able to make 2 hunts before you draw 33 though. I would still use 33 as my first choice. The whole NW corner is good. 15 is a sleeper.

I always put in for 032,034 & 035 hunt. A guy I know killed a 86 2/8's there in 2005. I think any area in the northwest part of the state you have a good chance at killing a B&C antelope. They also made the season 5 days longer so now you have more time to hunt.

My definition of a "sleeper" is a unit that has better quality then the draw odds would indicate. Unit 15 gets a 8.82 from huntodds.com. I believe that means that for every chance in the draw, your odds would be multipled by 8.82. The way Nevada works, I don't think there is a true way to figure odds. If that were the case, my 4 points squared plus application would give me about 100% chance of drawing and I don't believe that. On the other hand, Unit 33 has a 1.00. No matter how they figure their odds, that would indicate that 15 is almost 9X's easier to draw. I too have spent time in 15 and that why I mentioned it.
Native, i hunted 32,34 & 35 in "92." Got him on my wall and I'd as soon draw that as 33 since i know it well after tagging along with a friend in "91" and hunting it in "92." Did my time out time and haven't drawn since but this could/should be the year.

Congrats on the young'um. Wish you the best of luck. Start looking at youth hunts before he/she turns 12 cause there are a lot of opportunities out there. Your state probably has one of the best programs but its for residents only so I couldn't participate. Hunter
