Unit 102 takes in the country south of the Idaho line including portions of the Bull Run Mountains and the upper Owyhee drainage tributaries. Elevations run from about 5,500 feet in the basins to over 9,500 feet on the higher peaks. The terrain is canyon-cut basalt country at the lower end and aspen-Douglas fir slopes up high. The Bull Run high country holds some of the best aspen forests in northern Nevada and the canyon systems carve sharp into the flanks. Water is more reliable here than most of the state—the upper drainages run year-round. Humboldt-Toiyabe NF and BLM split the public ground with private ranches in the valleys. State Route 225 and a network of forest roads reach the country—FR 745 in particular gets you into the upper Bull Runs. Tuscarora is a tavern with a town attached; Elko is the supply hub. Cell service is gone. Mule deer is the headline and the Bull Runs produce mature bucks because the access is truly miserable when wet. Elk transplants have established. The aspen-mahogany transition zones hold deer through October. Bring recovery gear—the clay turns to glue.
