Unit 192 covers the country in west-central Nevada along the Sierra Nevada eastern flank, including pieces of the Pine Nut Mountains and the country south of Carson City. Elevations span from about 4,500 feet in the valleys to over 9,400 feet on the higher peaks. The Pine Nuts are a broad pinon-juniper range with mahogany and a few aspen pockets at elevation. The country drops sharply into Smith Valley and Mason Valley to the east; the Sierra runs hard up the western boundary. Mostly BLM with Humboldt-Toiyabe NF on the higher Pine Nut crest and significant private and tribal land in the valleys. US 395 frames the west; State Route 208 the south. Carson City, Minden, and Yerington are full-service towns. Cell service is good near the towns and degrades in the back country. Mule deer is the primary species, with California bighorn in the rocky country (very limited tags). The unit gets pressure because of urban proximity but if you walk a mile from a road you lose most of it. Late season weather at elevation can be genuine winter.
