High Desert Rural Locations Make for the Best Elk Hunting
Lincoln County is a county located in the state of Nevada, south of White Pine County and north of Clark County. The nearest metropolitan city is Cedar City, Utah 93.4 miles away. Its county seat is Pioche, an old mining town with a low human population but rich with an abundant wildlife population. The BLM manages over 80% of the land in Lincoln County, which allows for plenty of space for the elk to roam and the hunters to scout. The management areas in Lincoln County consist of 133, 221, 222, 223, 231, 241, 242, 243, 271, 280, 281, 282, 283.

We would say the average score we’ve helped bring in would be around 350-365. We will do everything we can to help you bring in the biggest bull possible.

The Call of the Wild and the Thrill of the Hunt
As soon as you crest either one of the summits leading into the heart of Lincoln County, you drop down into the small towns of Caliente or Panaca and the pungent smell of sage reminds you that you have left the concrete jungle behind.
You begin the uphill climb towards Pioche (pronounced Pea-oach), located 180 miles northeast of Las Vegas and hanging on the side of a mountain in Nevada’s High Desert.
There’s a sense of freedom that comes from having access to public lands. They are places where one can explore and interact with nature on a variety of levels.
Your hunt headquarters, Vantage Point Outfitters, is removed a ways off from the downtown hub of Pioche, which is known for its wild west history and its infamy claim to its own Boot Hill Cemetery. There were more men who died in their boots than in their beds in Pioche’s early heyday.
This is an exciting way to acclimate yourself to your adventure high in the hills. To truly feel “The Call of the Wild”. Beginning the hunt, any residual effects of modern life withdraw as you climb further up into the cedar, sage and pines of Lincoln County into the very heart of nature. The crisp, quiet mountains greet you. Trophy elk abound here. This is their environment. The thrill of the hunt has begun.
