On this week’s episode of The Big Hunt Guys, Brady and Trail are joined by Nevada Department of Wildlife Deputy Director Mike Scott, Game Division Administrator Shawn Espinosa, and Wildlife Staff Biologist Joe Bennett. The guys discuss the current drought and what it means for some of Nevada’s most prolific desert bighorn sheep herds. They later discuss mule deer populations, buck-to-doe ratios, and habitat concerns. Before diving into other topics like feral horse expansion and what can be done, the guys also talk about elk, pronghorn, the Nevada draw system, and whether it’s worth applying in Nevada as a nonresident. With Nevada’s 2025 application guidebook recently being released, this is a must-listen for anyone planning to apply in Nevada!
