GandJ Ouddoors Nevada Hunt Choices

Hello Everyone,

The deadline to apply for big game tags in Nevada is April 15. You can go to www.huntnevada.com and apply online. I encourage everyone to buy the license and build bonus points for each species. Here are my recommendations for the 2013 drawing for deer, sheep, antelope, and elk if you would like me to guide you. These are not necessarily the best units in the state. If you have any questions about quality of animals for a given hunt or anything else, give me a call before you apply.  

If you don't want to draw the tag this year you can apply for a point for each species and it will increase your odds of drawing later on.

For deer I would apply in this order. Those of you that already applied in the nonresident guide draw and have tags or didn't draw cannot take part in the deer drawing but you can and should apply for the other species. I am already booked up with late hunters that drew in the nonresident guide draw.

Spring Turkey Hunting Coming Soon!

We provide one day fully guided hunts in northern California on private land. Our premier properties offer prime Rio Grande Turkey habitat in beautiful settings. We have over 20 years experience hunting and calling gobblers and for the past several years have harvested on average 1 bird per hunt. Gobblers with up to 11 ¼" beards have been taken. These hunts are quite popular and usually book up before the season, so be sure to book your hunt early.

Spring hunts have a limit of 1 bearded turkey per day and 3 per season.
Fall hunts have a limit of 1 turkey per season.
And don't forget you can bring a buddy (an extra hunter) for a discounted additional fee (see rates below). For safety reasons, we cannot take more than 2 hunters per guide.

Upland Game Bird Stamp is required on all hunts. Prices do not include state hunting license, Upland Game Bird Stamp or guide gratuities.

Want to book now, Turkey season coming in a few weeks. Call Cary at 530-885-1492

Yuba River Trout Fishing

YUBA RIVER TROUT FISHING


Hello Everyone,

I hope you are all doing well. I floated the Yuba on Saturday and Sunday and the fish are starting to eat Stoneflies on top.

Here is a picture of a fish we caught yesterday on a big dry and unfortunately we lost the biggest fish we hooked after about a 5 minute fight. The weather is going to be in the 70's this week and the fishing should just get better with the warm weather.

The cost for a full day float trip (8 hours) is $425. The trip includes lunch, drinks, flies and rods and reels if you need them.

A half day float trip (4 hours) is $325 and includes drinks, flies and rods and reels. This price is good for two people.

Give me a call at 1-530-263-0492 or email me Cary@gandjoutdoors.com at  if you would like to get out and fish.
