Fall season is the best season there is, simply because of hunting. Whether you’re hunting big game or small game, Nevada is the perfect place to hunt.
Hunting is a great way to get away and not only observe nature but enjoy it too. The feeling of being outside and appreciating the sound and beauty of it is amazing, nature isn’t the main reason why hunters buy tags, it’s to kill.
This year Nate Nelson, a junior at Lowry, put in for a cow elk tag and a deer tag, both in Area 6.
“My favorite thing about hunting is getting to kill an animal, especially big game,” said Nelson. “There really isn’t anything that I dislike about hunting, only when you miss a shot,” Nelson added.
Hunting is a hobby that many people have. There are many hunters at Lowry, but there are some who love it more than others. Trey Marriott is a junior and enjoys hunting. Marriott put in for three tags this year, cow elk, antelope and deer. Marriott filled in his deer hunting with a two-point at area 051 towards the end of rifle season.
“During my free time I’ll go and try to shoot some small game,” said Marriott. “There is nothing I dislike about hunting, it’s a great time and the thing I love the most about hunting is the adrenaline rush you get.”
The experience of hunting is indescribable. Getting up bright and early to beat the sunrise, hiking and feeling the cold wind hit your face while in the mountains, and the rewarding feeling of filling in your tag is what hunters love most.
Living in the beautiful state of Nevada makes the hunting experience twice as exciting.
