The new Water Development Atlas (Guzzler Book) is now available at all NDOW offices. The new book includes 160 full color, detailed map pages covering the entire State of Nevada. Each map page is drawn at 1:144,000 scale (one inch on the page is approximately equal to 2 ¼ miles on the ground), which means that each map now offers much more detail than any previous Water Development Atlas. In addition to showing the location of both big and small game guzzlers. The book now includes land management status information and UTM (Universal Transverse Mercator) coordinates for GPS (Global Positioning System) use. The Cost is $50.

Can you post some pictures of this book as 50.00 is a lot for a book

I have last year's addition. It is comprehensive but it is so compressed the detail is hard to see without a magnifying glass. Maybe it's just these old eyes. Because it is such a large book it is not convenient to haul around. I usually make a copy of the page I will be using so I can fold it up and take with me. I can also blow it up a little to make the detail easier to see.

Finding water will be key when hunting Chukars and big game this year. Nevada is tinder dry locating the guzzlers could be a key to success. Coyotes are killing pets in back yards here in Spanish Springs. Over 20 dogs killed in the last two weeks. The rabbit population seems to be about half of what it was last year.

Stan,
Just my perspective, but $50 is cheap for the information. I pay a lot more to Jim Matthews for a Western Bird subscription in CA, which is likely less information.

I bought one a number of years ago, and was more than worth the money. So the current one has to be even better & a bigger bang for the buck.

Yeah, so would the rest of us... Only we would like ALL the pages, and in color please. Us being such nice folks and all, don't ya think? I mean, no sense in all of us actually having to pay for something, since fyrewil already did, right?

OH, and if fyrewil don't mind, would he pls post the GPS coordinates of his favorite chukar or quail spots he happens to find too, ok? I know Bisley would be most appreciative. NO, REALLY, he would, just ask him. I, personally, would like to hear of any coyotes you see, but just keep that a secret between us, ok? Ed, Tim, Grant, Tom, Shoot-it, Ken & Eric and the rest of the good ole boys can earn their "INFORMATION" with their own time, money & energy. They don't mind... TRUST ME!

THANK YOU SO VERY, VERY MUCH (IN ADVANCE).... Did I say "very"?

[Bisley]

I think I know what the answer would be. Probably the same one I would give: Here is how you get there, Go out in your yard, dig a really, really, really deep hole, and jump in it and go to Hell!!!

My eyes are still watering and my gut hurts from laughing Frank. You're killin me

Thanks John!

I just got off the phone with them and asked about a Digital form and he said if they get enough calls that the powers that be would more likely move forward with it so get everyone to call (775) 688-1998 and ask them to make a Digital version

Huge difference with some people here some about as helpful as a Berdan primed case and then there are others like you that have a I can help with that attitude

Thanks Again

[BeastSlayer]

Anything similar for CA?

[Frank]

The closest thing I've seen is from "The Outdoor News Service" by Jim Matthews. You can find him from google by typing in either his name or outdoor news service.

He puts out a newsletter called Western Birds, started about a dozen (+/-) years ago on quail & chukar with guzzlers & hunting areas and their gps coordinates. The first half dozen yrs or so, were the most informative and I have all those copies. I quit subscribing after that, as the quality and numbers of copies ea year got less and less. Started out around 6 copies a yr and dropped to about 2. Used to be about $100 a yr. Probably can still order past issues.

Frank, you hurt my feelings,
I cryed most of the night, and I was so upset, I peed the bed.
My wife understood after I told her why I was upset.
Tom

[Frank]

I am , Tom. I just thought at our ages we had no feelings left. Then again, I should say "my" age?

My goodness, this thread just keeps on ticking... sorta like the energizer bunny! LOL
