  • MULE DEER Unit 032
    Nevada Hunter Information Sheet MULE DEER Unit 032 LOCATION: Unit 032 is located northwest of the town of Winnemucca. The unit is bounded on the north by the Oregon state line, on the east by State Route 140/291, on the south by Unit 034 and on the west by the Sheldon NWR boundary. ELEVATION: The elevations range from a high of 9,458 feet at Duffer Peak in the Pine Forest Range to 4,000 feet along the Black Rock Desert or the base of the Pine Forest Range. TERRAIN: The Pine Forest Range runs north and south with steep canyons draining into the flats. The valley floors have some agricultural development. VEGETATION: The majority of the basins and slopes up to 6,500-foot elevation. Above this elevation, sites are typically characterized by aspens in the drainages, mahogany groves and dense stands of brush and grass. There are some limber pine stands at the higher elevations around Duffer Peak. LAND STATUS: Approximately 85% of the unit is public-owned. Private land is mostly associated with agriculture or mining. HUNTER ACCESS: From Winnemucca drive north on Highway 95 and west on Highway 140. Primary and secondary road access is relatively good. Four-wheel drive (high clearance) vehicles are recommended to access most of the unit for hunting purposes. The Blue Lakes Wilderness Study Area covers 24,000 acres the Duffer Peak area and is closed to all motorized travel. Access on some roads may be restricted by private landowners in the Leonard Creek drainage. Ask permission before accessing private parcels in this area.

    JUNE, 1962 40c • • • • . Author's car crossing the playa of Black Rock Desert in northwestern Nevada. On Black Rock Desert Trails When Dora Tucker and Nell Murbarger first began exploring the Black Rock country in northwestern Nevada they did not realize what a high, wide and wild country it was. On the Black Rock a hundred miles doesn't mean a thing. In the 10,000 square miles of this desert wasteland there isn't a foot of pavement nor a mile of railroad— neither gasoline station nor postoffice. Antelopes out-number human beings fifty to one. There's plenty of room here for exploring. By NELL MURBARGER Photographs by the author Map by Norton Allen S AN illustration of what the want to!

    Nevada Hunter Information Sheet CALIFORNIA BIGHORN SHEEP Unit 031 LOCATION: Unit 031 is located northwest of the town of Winnemucca. The unit is bounded on the north by the Oregon state line: the east by Unit 051, the south by Unit 035, and on the west by Unit 032. ELEVATION: The elevations range from 8,500' at the top of the Trout Creek Range to 4,100' along the Quinn River. TERRAIN: The unit is bounded on the west by the Bilk Creek Range, the north by the Trout Creek Range, the east by the Montana Mountains and the Double H Mountains. The Kings River Valley, a highly developed agricultural area, is situated among the ranges listed above. The Bilk Creek Range and the Trout Creek Range are mountainous with moderately sloped drainages. The Montana Mountains and the Double H Mountains are high table plateaus, rising sharply on their west faces, and sloping gradually to the east. The west slopes are short and deep; canyons draining to the east are long with deep precipitous gorges in their upper reaches. VEGETATION: The majority of the basins and slopes up to 6,500' elevation are dominated by sagebrush. Sites above those elevations typically have aspen in the drainages, islands of mahogany, and a mixed variety of shrubs and grasses. WEATHER AND CLIMATE: The precipitation varies from 7-18+ inches from the valley floor to the upper peaks. Rain and snow can cause travel problems from September through November. LAND STATUS: Approximately 85% of the unit is BLM land. Private land is mostly associated with agriculture or mining.

  • Too Wild to Drill A
    TOO WILD TO DRILL A The connection between people and nature runs deep, and the sights, sounds and smells of the great outdoors instantly remind us of how strong that connection is. Whether we’re laughing with our kids at the local fishing hole, hiking or hunting in the backcountry, or taking in the view at a scenic overlook, we all share a sense of wonder about what the natural world has to offer us. Americans around the nation are blessed with incredible wildlands out our back doors. The health of our public lands and wild places is directly tied to the health of our families, communities and economy. Unfortunately, our public lands and clean air and water are under attack. The Trump administration and some in Congress harbor deep ties to fossil fuel and mining interests, and today, resource extraction lobbyists see an unprecedented opportunity to open vast swaths of our public lands. Recent proposals to open the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge to drilling and shrink or eliminate protected lands around the country underscore how serious this threat is. Though some places are appropriate for responsible energy development, the current agenda in Washington, D.C. to aggressively prioritize oil, gas and coal production at the expense of all else threatens to push drilling and mining deeper into our wildest forests, deserts and grasslands. Places where families camp and hike today could soon be covered with mazes of pipelines, drill rigs and heavy machinery, or contaminated with leaks and spills. This report highlights 15 American places that are simply too important, too special, too valuable to be destroyed for short-lived commercial gains.

    GEOLOGY OF THE BLACK ROCK DESERT By Cathy Busby Professor of Geology University of California Santa Barbara http://www.geol.ucsb.edu/faculty/busby BURNING MAN EARTH GUARDIANS PAVILION 2012 LEAVE NO TRACE Please come find me and Iʼll give you a personal tour of the posters! You are here! In one of the most amazing geologic wonderlands in the world! Fantastic rock exposure, spectacular geomorphic features, and a long history, including: 1. PreCambrian loss of our Australian neighbors by continental rifting, * 2. Paleozoic accretion of island volcanic chains like Japan (twice!), 3. Mesozoic compression and emplacement of a batholith, 4. Cenozoic stretching and volcanism, plus a mantle plume torching the base of the continent! Let’s start with what you can see on the playa and from the playa: the Neogene to Recent geology, which is the past ~23 million years (= Ma). Note: Recent = past 15,000 years http://www.terragalleria.com Then we’ll “build” the terrane you are standing on, beginning with a BILLION years ago, moving through the Paleozoic (old life, ~540-253 Ma), Mesozoic (age of dinosaurs, ~253-65 Ma)) and Cenozoic (age of mammals, ~65 -0 Ma). Neogene to Recent geology Black Rock Playa extends 100 miles, from Gerlach to the Jackson Mountains. The Black Rock Desert is divided into two arms by the Black Rock Range, and covers 1,000 square miles. Empire (south of Gerlach)has the U.S. Gypsum mine and drywall factory (brand name “Sheetrock”), and thereʼs an opal mine at base of Calico Mtns. Neogene to Recent geology BRP = The largest playa in North America “Playa” = a flat-bottomed depression, usually a dry lake bed 3,500ʼ asl in SW, 4,000ʼ asl in N Land speed record: 1997 - supersonic car, 766 MPH Runoff mainly from the Quinn River, which heads in Oregon ~150 miles north.
