Unit 111 - 113 (Schell Creek Range, Duck Creek Range and Kern Mountains)
Nevada Hunting Guide — Mule Deer
Units 111 - 113 take in about 2,112 square miles of White Pine and Juab counties, from the Schell Creek and Duck Creek ranges to the Kern Mountains. NDOW publishes no Hunt Information Sheet for mule deer on this group. So this page sticks to the ground itself: its ranges and peaks, the highways and county roads that reach it, and the nearest towns.

Where to Find Mule Deer in Units 111 - 113: the Schell Creek Range to the Kern Mountains
Five ranges and no NDOW deer sheet
NDOW doesn't publish a Hunt Information Sheet for mule deer on Units 111 - 113. That sheet is normally where the department names the canyons, benches and springs it would send a hunter to, so its absence matters. Without one, there's no NDOW deer list to pass along, and we won't invent one. What we can describe is the ground itself.
The Schell Creek Range to the Kern Mountains
The group spreads across White Pine and Juab counties and takes in five named ranges: the Schell Creek Range, the Duck Creek Range, the Antelope Range, the Red Hills and the Kern Mountains. The Schell Creek Range holds the highest country. North Schell Peak is the tallest summit inside the line, with South Schell Peak and Taft Peak close behind, and Cleve Creek Baldy and Black Mountain round out the five highest named points.
That's a lot of separate mountain blocks for one tag. Put in map time on each range before the season, pick the blocks you can realistically scout, and then use your days afield to learn where the deer actually are.
The ground NDOW draws for this tag
A mule deer tag for this group is good in units 111, 112 and 113, about 2,112 square miles measured on NDOW's own boundary, in White Pine County. The named ranges inside the line are Antelope Range, Kern Mountains, Duck Creek Range, Red Hills and Schell Creek Range. The highest named points are North Schell Peak (11,872 ft), South Schell Peak (11,756 ft) and Taft Peak (11,720 ft), and the lowest named ground sits near 5,548 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 148 springs inside it, Grasshopper Spring, Fera One Hundred, Ice Cream Springs and Ayarbe Spring among them.

Data from 2025 draw results. Each row is one residency pool — read the label before the number. This agency publishes no point thresholds, so the Pts column stays blank and these are pool odds, not what a point total draws.
