I worked at Soldier Meadows Ranch in 2015. I have seen first hand what kind of impact those horses had on the springs and the feed. Every time we went to go gather cows we would see a band of them or at least a couple studs. The damage that those horses cause is terrible.
Randy, I've stayed at that cabin for many years. It is cool to recognize it! I see the same type of habitat decimation in that area and areas a little south in Nevada and in Southern Oregon. Browse turned into dust and dung heaps. It's sad to see big ole shiny uneducated city hearts regulate the wild and it's sustainability. I share your dismay man. I'm glad you could turn up a buck for the freezer
As always.... Awesome video. Yes Randy, sometimes ya just got to get lucky. But here's the thing. Luck I believe is when preparation intersects with opportunity. You made the shot. Great job!
Congratulations on getting a long awaited Nevada pronghorn from that area. Sometimes you have to take the gift that God gives you even if it has no prongs or cutters. Always great to see Scott Jones, even for a little bit.
My very first hunt ever was a pronghorn in Sheldon National Wildlife Refuge. It was amazing and tagged out within 24 hours. I spent more time driving from Vegas than actual on the ground hunting.
My (limited) experience: antelope will stick to a 1-2 mile radius, unless pushed HARD.. find water, find tracks and they will come back ;) i spent a whole day once, chasing prairie goats across SE Colorado, only to have the day end where we found them, that morning..
Spent many summers in that area. Fantastic area for some good ones but you will work for em. The history of the wagon trains that went through there is amazing
That buck that was 250 yards in the wrong unit would it be illegal (not morally) wrong to circle around and bump him your direction as long as it's not private land ?
Lets be more honest and more outspoken about this situation.... First of all, they are not "Non-Native" they are technically "Feral" Horses. University DNA studies prove they are not historical animals but more than 95% European Working Domestic Horse Stock... meaning they were introduced by settlers & Calvery and thus the blood lines are modern blood lines and less than 2% Spanish Barb bloodlines used as a romantic argument that they are native to the landscape. Thats factually wrong and should not be entertained at all. Secondly, the groups preventing the round ups are not sportsmen and have NO vested interest in the Public Lands or recreational uses of the public lands used by sportsmen. The laws clearly state there should only be 21,000 or so Feral horses allowed on public lands yet there are currently roughly 80,000! and a Horse Herd doubles every 4 years. Numerous States are facing these invasive feral horses that activists who are misinformed, under educated, with no scientific basis to their arguments and yet well-funded who are a radical and very loudly outspoken and they intimidate and sue the government every time a round up is scheduled. MORE sportsmen NEED to get involved, get their money involved, get their voices involved and start pushing for these feral horses to be removed... the laws designating the wilderness areas that protect the wilderness areas clearly state they are for native species.... but the public lands are in limbo and again because well-funded very loud obnoxious radical activists intimidate the process and rule by emotion on the subject and void any science at all they get the upper hand and prevent the removal of the horses that are destroying natural habitats for Wild Game and natural habitat. In extreme weather they also stomp springs out and close off the water supplies that once had been historical and critical to the landscape. Stop being so gentle, so politically correct and vague about it. Speak out, use your voice and your platform to help get other sportsmen involved in this issue otherwise there is no counter voice to the radical activists that are preventing management plans being enforced or enacted.... and the damage will only continue and grow. Remember, the only thing that allows this issue to prevail is that good sportsmen who remain silent. USE your platform and get involved with this issue - it's a HUGE and devastating problem in NV, AZ, UT, CO, WY, NM and several other States! Feral Horses are destroyed amazing Mule Deer and Elk habitat in CO around Rangely too in the same manner. Someone like you needs to take this up and help rally and educate more sportsmen who need to get involved and their voices in the fray.
Amen, sir. Feral horses have overrun and trashed plenty of habitat in eastern NV. Try to look in any direction and NOT see them in southern unit 222, for one example.
If you think I’m gentle on the topic, you obviously don’t follow much of our content. I’m sure I’m the most outspoken person I hunting media when it comes to feral horses. I’ve talked about it in numerous videos and podcasts. I’m doing another video about it in November. BTW, I agree with the facts you’ve stated and I’ve recited that same information many times on our platforms.
This is an example of a person knowing they won’t hunt an area again, so they don’t have a problem spot-burning the place. The exact sort of thing that floods an area with hunters.
Great hunt, always enjoy watching Randy hunt. Please don’t promote beer, I want my grandkids to watch your hunting videos, if you drink, drink, just leave it off the videos for our childrens sake, Thanks Randy I’m sorry you have to drive a ford , Times will get better, ;-)
Thanks for sharing Randy, I really appreciate the history info incorporated in this adventure.

Always enjoy watching you and scott hunting together.
Oregon also has a dedicated pronghorn refuge hart mountain. There’s lots of bucks and the hunt is in September amazing place just to visit

Can't believe that you're cooking with Bud lite!! Great hunt guys, pronghorn used to be easier.
(a) You never know how old these are before they are released on TH-cam
(b) Not everyone is a snowflake.
Another awesome adventure & great hunt as always! Living the dream & doing what you love! Looks like an absolute blast
Mighty fine! Wish I could experience it all!! Good to see Scott in there again!
Great show guys. Keep up the good work!
That pickup has served you well Randy. If a guy could make a video of it's camaras, what a story it would be. Amazing hunt guys!
Thanks Randy for all you do!
Seen this across all of Nevada. Unchecked horse population and dwindling deer, elk, and pronghorn populations.
Good ol' Randy Newberg!
Hoping to get my first pronghorn this year in Colorado. Amazing video fellas.
what unit you trying for.hope you get it
@@wgj4everlong426 I have a tag for 133, Not much public land there but there is some. Waiting for the leftover list to see if I can get another tag.
@@johnfowler6297 good luck don’t really know that area
Nice one Randy nothing wrong with a little luck now and then !
Thanx 4 the video randy
Good music in this one, and nice hunt...
Badass video!
There are plenty of antelope in Nevada. You just have to know where to look for them. Much more in my area, than they ever had 30 years ago.
Maybe I missed it but I didn’t hear what caliber you used to take your buck?
Great video Randy! Feral horses are ruining our landscape in Nevada.
My very first hunt ever was a pronghorn in Sheldon National Wildlife Refuge. It was amazing and tagged out within 24 hours. I spent more time driving from Vegas than actual on the ground hunting.
Sounds like a good hunt
How long ago was it?
@@bch5513 2016
@kingdomhuntersusyou can do both at the same time.
Liar
My (limited) experience: antelope will stick to a 1-2 mile radius, unless pushed HARD.. find water, find tracks and they will come back ;) i spent a whole day once, chasing prairie goats across SE Colorado, only to have the day end where we found them, that morning..
I grew up in Gerlach and I as well see the massive population of growing larger as the years have passed.
Beautiful goat 🤠
shot my first 2 mule deer about 50 miles east of there near the oyhee river
For all your techy sh!t, your glove always make me smile!!!
I used to hunt Eureka area. Speed goats everywhere.
Good lord. My wife's Honda CR V would've plowed right through that little water bog. Must be in Ford contract to be melodramatic.
No Ford contract. My wife also has a CR-V and it would still be stuck there. 🤣
I drew one of the very few Mule Deer tags there. Very few deer left to hunt. Hunted for a week no bucks sighted. Plenty of wild horses.
I hear horses taste good.
Not to doubt you but I think hart mountain in Oregon is a antelope refuge also
Yes, upon being established, it was included in the Sheldon "antelope" management plan. Both amazing places.
I hunted in the Sheldon last year up by delfarino ponds it took 2 days to get one and that was a just luck
Spent many summers in that area. Fantastic area for some good ones but you will work for em. The history of the wagon trains that went through there is amazing
Has to be the cabin by the “Shark rock”! Only people that have spent time in the area will understand..
What rifle caliber and bullet?
I whould buy a 🐴 tag, I heard they eat good
Wait what now?
@@Hentylionthat sure looks like a horse... 🤔 so either an idiot or a troll 🧌
The math probably works out; if you converted the mass of all those horses to antelope, you'd end up with the high, historical antelope numbers.
That buck that was 250 yards in the wrong unit would it be illegal (not morally) wrong to circle around and bump him your direction as long as it's not private land ?
Honestly not sure. I wouldn't want to find out when the green and gray trucks pull up 😂
In California that would be harassing game and illegal.
What ever happened to Jerry Pritchard?
oops, I meant Larry Pritchard.
It is Jerry, and his job took him to Texas.
Update. I was going to buy a Nissan titan based on what you drove? But now you drive a Ford so I got a F150 now.
It's a ford of course it will go through a puddle

You must not follow Randy much. He is more vocal than anyone regarding the feral horse overpopulation.
This is an example of a person knowing they won’t hunt an area again, so they don’t have a problem spot-burning the place.
The exact sort of thing that floods an area with hunters.
I can't stand the horses. They are out of control too a point that nothing makes logical or logistical sense to get their numbers under control.
Stop boiling your brats in Bud Lite and antelope will abound.
Great hunt, always enjoy watching Randy hunt.
Please don’t promote beer, I want my grandkids to watch your hunting videos, if you drink, drink, just leave it off the videos for our childrens sake, Thanks
Randy I’m sorry you have to drive a ford , Times will get better, ;-)
I thought this was going to be a hunting video but it turned out to be a "drive around until you see something, stop and shoot" video. Nice, NOT.
