I can give a general rundown of the area, Humbolt, Pershing, Elko, Nye, etc. The Chimmney Creek and Wildhourse has been good as is Golconda. Old 8A from Battle Mountain to Austin has much to offer, as well. Avoid the burn areas. For that matter, it burned north of Winnemucca a couple years ago, but the Paradise Valley to Denio has produced for many years, they are still there. Try the road along the mountains just past Quinn River Crossing. As I think of it, Bishop Canyon is also good, a little hard to find, though. Anywhere along US 50 can produce, especially right around East Gate. Fallon has some nice canals just to the north and an animal dump. The hills behind Midas holds a lot of coyotes, as does Gabbs; take the road to Tonapah. Speaking of Tonapah, Pevine Canyon just northeast can be good for dogs. Killed my first bobcat not more than a mile from Tonapah. I especially like the Lovelock area, up around Seven Troughs, and Jungo. Used to be called Cow Creek Ranch, real good, if you can find it. My dad got a lion right there, several years back. Be sure and work the wash south of rabbit hole and Rosebud Canyon heading toward Mill City. On the other side, Granite Mountain behind Kyle Hotsprings is very good, cats, long and short tails. Try Lymerik canyon coming back to 80, seen several (4?) lions there. Good areas around Carlin, especially south to the river. Last time I was around Eureka, the dogs were on the run, somebody must have been pressing them with aircraft. Speaking of which, anywhere up in the northwest quadrant, best get there pretty soon. I once killed twenty-two coyotes in a day and a half, hunting the hills of Blackrock Desert. Another spot to try is around Darby Field, in the salt marshes. I've been to all these places and more, in the last thirty years, so it's off the top of my head, if I misspelled or anything, please excuse inaccuracies/memory plays tricks on us geezers, sometimes. But, you try a few of the above and you should do better than picking a spot at random.
Good luck, BB
