Unit 067, 068 (Tuscarora, Sheep Creek and Izzenhood Ranges)
Nevada Hunting Guide — Antelope
Units 067, 068 cover about 2,400 square miles of Elko, Eureka and Lander counties north of Interstate 80, from the Tuscarora Mountains west to the Sheep Creek and Izzenhood ranges. NDOW calls it more mountainous than most Nevada antelope country, with pronghorn spread thin through broken hills and draws, so expect to glass hard and cover a lot of BLM road.

Where to Find Pronghorn in Units 067, 068: Sheep Creek Range and the Tuscaroras
Rossi Mine to Willow Creek and the Sheep Creek tops
NDOW says antelope are widespread in this group, but it singles out a handful of places that usually carry the most animals. The stretch from the Rossi Mine to Willow Creek is one. The top of the Sheep Creek Range is another, and so is the east side of the Izzenhood Range. In the Tuscaroras, hunt the lower elevations of the south half of the range and anywhere in the north half, which NDOW lists whole. Mature bucks, the sheet adds, can turn up in any suitable habitat in the management area.
Benches, draws and old burns between 5,000 and 8,000 feet
Most of these pronghorn spend the season between 5,000 and 8,000 feet. That's rougher ground than typical antelope country. NDOW describes benches giving way to fairly steep mountain slopes broken by hills and draws, which hides animals and slows down spotting, and the herd is spread across a lot of it. Look for a patchwork of perennial grass and low sage mixed with taller sagebrush, bitterbrush or mountain brush, close to springs and green riparian strips. Old fire scars deserve a look too. NDOW says burns that have flushed with new forage often draw antelope, especially those above 6,500 feet.
The ground NDOW draws for this tag
A pronghorn tag for this group is good in units 067 and 068, about 2,398 square miles measured on NDOW's own boundary, in Elko County, Eureka County and Lander County. The named ranges inside the line are Sheep Creek Range, Tuscarora Mountains and Santa Renia Mountains. The highest named points are Beaver Peak (8,781 ft), McCann Creek Mountain (8,588 ft) and Mount Neva (8,566 ft), and the lowest named ground sits near 4,558 feet. We don't print a land-status split for Nevada groups, because the figures we held didn't come from BLM's surface-management data; check BLM's current map for private parcels before you cross a fence or a cattle guard. GNIS names 37 springs inside it, Izzenhood Ranch Springs, Sagebrush Spring, Coyote Spring and Warm Spring among them.
