Wade Ovard

Trophy Mule Deer, Elk and Sheep are some of the most sought after hunts in the United States.  Securing a permit is typically the hardest part of the hunt!  White River has access to landowner permits in both Nevada and Utah.  Auction/Conservation permits are also available.  Some offer the hunter the ability to hunt longer season dates and multiple units which helps maximize your chance to take the trophy of your dreams.  These permits go extremely fast so please do not delay and let us know what you are looking for so that we can go to work finding a permit for you.  Nevada trophy big game hunts are special! ​

Typical season dates are as follows:

• Archery Elk and Mule Deer:  August – September
• Muzzleloader Elk and Mule Deer:  September – October
• Rifle Elk and Mule Deer:  October – December
• Sheep:  November – December
• Mountain Lions:  December - March
• ​Antelope: August - September

    We are also happy to help you apply for permits in both states.  There is no doubt that what area you hunt can determine your success.  We now live in a bonus point world and the only way to win is to play the game!  Utah’s application period is in  February.  Nevada has the NR Guided deer draw that you apply for in Feb/March and the NV general draw application period is in April.  Please do not be afraid to call us and ask questions.  We are extremely proud of the fact that many of our clients have hunted with us several times.  There is always room for more dedicated clients that want to pursue trophy class animals!
