Unit 131 - 134 (White Pine Range, Horse Range and Grant Range)
Nevada Hunting Guide — Mule Deer
Units 131 - 134 cover about 5,981 square miles of Nye, White Pine and Lincoln counties. NDOW's sheet puts the highest deer densities in the upper White Pine Range through mid-October, then follows a migration south from Unit 131 into 132 that starts in October whatever the weather. No private land blocks access, but parts of three units are wilderness.

Where to Find Mule Deer in Units 131 - 134: the White Pine Range to the Highway 6 junction
The upper White Pine Range through mid-October
Until about mid-October, concentrate on the high country of the White Pine Range, which holds the most deer in the group. In 2025 the archery and muzzleloader hunts and most of the any-legal-weapon hunt fell inside that window, so for most tag holders the White Pine high country is the place to start.
Highway 6 and the White River junction in late October
Deer start migrating south from Unit 131 into Unit 132 in October, and NDOW says that move doesn't depend on the weather. By late October they may concentrate along Highway 6 near the White River junction, or be scattered along the Horse Range and the Grant Range. The 2025 junior hunt ran to the end of October, which puts it into that migration.
Small high herds in the southern ranges
The southern mountain ranges carry small resident herds that live at high elevation, mostly in wilderness. Hunting there gets better later in the season, down at lower elevations, as deer move in from the northern parts of the group. If you're hunting late and the White Pine Range has emptied, that's the direction to follow.
The ground NDOW draws for this tag
A mule deer tag for this group is good in units 131, 132, 133 and 134, about 5,981 square miles measured on NDOW's own boundary, in Nye County, White Pine County and Lincoln County. The named ranges inside the line are Mokomoke Mountains, Horse Range, Seaman Range, White River Range, Duckwater Hills and Grant Range. The highest named points are Currant Mountain (11,479 ft), Troy Peak (11,262 ft) and Duckwater Peak (11,151 ft), and the lowest named ground sits near 4,119 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 249 springs inside it, Giroux Springs, Shingle Spring, Logan Spring and White Bluff 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.
