Its official, the 2013 Nevada hunting season has started. My
mind is not in the right place today. The smell of cold frosty autumn mornings,
deer urine, and black powder fill my nostrils. The sight of snow-capped
wilderness mountains is burned into my mind. I swear I just heard an Elk bugle, even though I am hundreds of miles away from Elk habitat. I have
developed a case of “buck fever” in preparation for my first big game hunt in
the western United States.
Agency owner Mike Menath departed yesterday for his first
hunt of the season. Mike is after an Antelope with bow and arrow, arguably
one of the toughest big game hunts in North American . I will start my hunting season
on September 1 in pursuit of Blue Grouse in western Nevada and
Ruffed Grouse in the Jarbidge Wilderness while scouting for my October Cow Elk
hunt. Scott Menath and Woodford, his Brittany, have been training all summer in preparation
for the October 1st Chukar season.
Once again, best of luck to all hunters this season. May your
bullets and arrows fly straight, luck be on your side, and fresh wild game fill
your freezer.
Happy Hunting,
Paul Thibodeau
