NDOW's sheet puts the highest deer densities in the Delamar Mountains of Unit 241 and the Clover Mountains of Unit 242, high near water early and on winter range from late October.

Where to Find Mule Deer in Units 241 - 245: the Clover and Delamar Mountains
High basins in the Clover and Delamar Mountains
The Delamar Mountains in Unit 241 and the Clover Mountains in Unit 242 hold the most deer in this group. During archery season, deer stay close to water at high elevation, especially in a dry year. So find the high basins with reliable water in those two ranges. If it stays warm, deer hold up high through the muzzleloader hunt and the start of the rifle season.
Bunker Peak to Lime Mountain on the Clover winter range
Cooling weather sends most deer down to winter range, and they usually start bunching up there in late October. The biggest concentrations from the Clovers winter around Bunker Peak along the state line, south to Lime Mountain and along the south side of the range. In the Delamars, deer drop off the northeastern part of the range.
The western Delamars give up few deer, though some can be found lower down in late October. Deer are rarely harvested in the Meadow Valley Mountains, the Pahranagat Range or the Arrow Canyon Range, which tells you where not to spend a short hunt.
The ground NDOW draws for this tag
A mule deer tag for this group is good in units 241, 242, 243, 244 and 245, about 3,531 square miles measured on NDOW's own boundary, in Lincoln County and Clark County. The named ranges inside the line are East Pahranagat Range, Arrow Canyon Range, Delamar Mountains, Clover Mountains, Tule Springs Hills and Pahranagat Range. The highest named points are Chokecherry Mountain (8,037 ft), Badger Mountain (7,966 ft) and Slidy Mountain (7,843 ft), and the lowest named ground sits near 1,536 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 181 springs inside it, Carson Spring, Cane Springs, Willow Spring and Quaking Aspen Spring among them.
