Edit
Unit 211 covers the country along the California border in southwestern Nevada including pieces of the White Mountains' Nevada flank and the country toward Lida. Elevations span from about 5,000 feet in Fish Lake Valley to over 13,000 feet on Boundary Peak (Nevada's highest, on the state line). The White Mountains are genuinely alpine—bristlecone pine groves, talus, and high meadows. Below it's pinon-juniper and sage. Fish Lake Valley to the east is broad and irrigated where the water reaches. Humboldt-Toiyabe NF on the higher country, BLM on the flanks, private ranches in the valley. The Boundary Peak Wilderness covers the high country—no motors. US 6 frames the north; State Route 264 runs Fish Lake Valley. Tonopah is the closest town for full supplies; Bishop (CA) is closer if coming from the west. Cell service follows the highways. Mule deer is the primary species, and the White Mountains bighorn (Sierra Nevada bighorn, very limited tags) are some of the most prestigious in the West. The high country is a real mountain hunt—elevation, exposure, and steep ground.

Recent Trophy Scores · 2020–2025

Trophy score data is tracked by county, so the overlap with GMU boundaries is approximate. These numbers tell you whether the area is capable of growing big animals — they do not indicate public vs. private land. Big elk can come from anywhere; most elk in the lower 48 trace back to Yellowstone stock that was transplanted west after the species was nearly extirpated in the early 1900s.
