Welcome to High Nevada Desert Outfitters. We thank
you in advance for taking the time learn more about us.
Nevada High Desert Outfitters is located 20 miles
south east of Elko in Lamoille at the base of the majestic Ruby Mountains.
We have been doing business since 1997 and the Owner Mitch Buzzetti has lived
in Lamoille his whole life. To say the least Mitch knows the Ruby mountains
and the Northeastern corner of Nevada very well.
We offer a variety of hunts for all classes of hunters.
Our hunts are conducted either on horse back, out of a truck, off ATV's or
a combination of the three. Nevada High Desert Outfitters also hunts a variety
of animals, from Mule Deer(our most popular hunts), Elk, Bighorn Sheep( Desert,
California and Rocky), Ruby Mountain Goats, and Cougars.
Please browse our site for more information on all
the hunts we offer. If you have any further questions please contact Mitch
Buzzetti(contact information is at the bottom of every page).
Nevada High Desert Outfitters likes to start the season
early and finish it late. We offer Archery hunts for beginners to expert archers.
Our guides know the areas very well and have a good idea where to find the
deer in the archery season. Depending on where you draw we will locate the
deer in your area and help you stock that giant buck.
Archery hunts are usually 5 days with a half day travel
each way, 6 full days of hunting and is a fully guided trip. This includes
meals, transportation, horse, and field dressing your animal.
We also offer drop camps in the Ruby Mountains for
those do it yourselfers who don't want to waste all their energy just getting
their camp into the Rubys. For a small fee we will pack all your supplies
into an area of your choice and come back six days later and back all your
gear, you and your animal out.
We have two varieties of 4-day hunts to accommodate
each hunters needs.
The first variety of our 4-day hunts is a great hunt
for the hunter who likes to hunt but would also like to take a shower and
have a warm bed to sleep in each night. You will stay at the Buzzetti's house
which is located in Lamoille and drive to the hunting area each day.
The second variety of our 4-day hunts is for those
hunters that want to bring everything with them. This variety of 4-day hunt
we can drive to camp and will then ride horses each morning out of camp for
a half hour or more. This gives the hunter the opportunity to hunt the Ruby
Mountains without the three hour horse back ride to camp.
The pack-in Hunt is for the avid hunter who wants the
whole experience of packing into the Ruby Mountains. This is a physical hunt
because not only do we pack-in 5 miles spending a couple hours on the horses
just to get to camp, we will also ride each morning for another hour or so
to get to the different hunting areas. We recommend that if you want to go
on this hunt that you condition yourself before the hunt with some light horse
back riding and walk a couple miles a day. Conditioning for the hunt will
result in less aches and pains throughout your hunt and will make your hunt
more enjoyable.
The pack-in hunt is a fully guided hunt with food,
horses and stories. You will stay in top of the line wall tents with six foot
side walls making life at camp more comfertable. The hunt is a six day hunt
allowing for a day travel each way and four full days of hunting.
The mystical Mountain Lion is one animal that many
will never see in the wild. If one does see a Mountain Lion it is a site you
will never forget. If you want to hunt cats in Nevada we ask that you are
very flexible in terms of hunting times. Weather plays a key role in a successful
hunt, we like to hunt cats the day after a good snow. We offer a couple different
hunts.
Our classic Mountain Lion hunt is six full days of
hunting. This is a fully guided cat hunt with meals and transportation from
Lamoille included.
Our Trophy Mountain Lion hunt is for the hunters that
have already harvested one cat and would now like to get a Trophy Tom. These
hunts are ten full days of hunting and have a great success. Just like our
classic Moutnain Lion hunt weather plays an important role in the success
of the hunt so we again ask that you can come on a moments notice. Our guides
know a lot about hunting but can't predict the weather so a days notice is
not uncommon with our Mountian Lion hunts.
