Edit
Unit 113 covers the country east of Ely along the Schell Creek Range's southern flank and into the country toward the Utah line. Elevations run from about 5,800 feet in Spring Valley to over 11,000 feet on the high Schell peaks. The country is classic Great Basin sky island—aspen, mahogany, and limber pine on the high end with bristlecone pine in scattered pockets, dropping through pinon-juniper to sage on the valley floor. The High Schells Wilderness covers the spine. Humboldt-Toiyabe NF on the high country, BLM on the flanks, private ranches on the springs. US 93 and US 6/50 are the paved corridors; forest roads climb both flanks but the upper roads turn snow-locked early. Ely is the supply town. Cell service is in Ely and gone. Mule deer is the headline, and the southern Schells hold mature bucks because the country is genuinely big and the access is hard. Elk inhabit. Bristlecone groves at elevation are some of the oldest living things on earth—keep your camp off them.

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.

Nevada Unit 113 draw odds — every hunt, by species

Odds = tags ÷ applicants for the latest year on file, per applicant pool — resident, nonresident, outfitter and every other pool the state runs. Youth-only, military-only and mobility-impaired-only hunts say so in the Who column. Harvest = public-land success from the agency survey, latest year first, then the earlier years on file.
