Nevada Antelope Unit 33 Late Rifle - Help Please!

[j_volt]

Well, I guess I’m going to be “that guy”. However, I feel that I have earned 10% of the right (and no more than 10%) to be “that guy” based on the fact that I didn’t sign up for Rokslide this morning

I picked up an antelope rifle tag in the FCFS process. It is for unit 33 and it is the late tag (8/29-9/7).

Here is what I know:
-This is a very remote area. Carrying supplies is a must
-Antelope numbers (and harvest odds) have been dropping for the past 5 years
-Tags were cut by 24% (34 to 26) from 2021 to 2022

Here is what I don’t know:
-Elevation/terrain types to focus on
-Water availability
-General knowledge of the unit (less what I mentioned above)
-Realistic expectations of both herd and horn size

I’d love a chance to chat with anyone that knows the unit or has even had the tag before.

I appreciate it!
Joe

Drive to Gerlach, fill up on fuel, have extra fuel and go scout and hunt. 16-17” length is possible. Find what makes you happy.

Thank you! It sounds very desolate

also bring extra spares. The obsidian rock is like glass. Also bring lots of water. It was 103 degrees with 0 shade the year a drew! Take your time, cover lots of country and have fun. Horses were a challenge the year I drew. Always in the way spooking antelope.

PM me. My dad had that tag last year.

Thank you to everyone for the tips! It really helped cut down the learning curve with such a wilderness-like unit.
