Desert Mountain Guzzler Ninety NBU volunteers and five NDOW staff powered through wind, rain, snow, and heat to build a new big game guzzler in the Desert Range, about 15 miles south of Fallon. The completed project includes a 72' x 80' apron, five 2,300-gallon tanks, a 600-gallon drinker, and protective fencing. Volunteers hauled 2,300 gallons of water on-site to charge the system. A wide range of ages pitched in—from 15-month-old Mila Tartaglia to one seasoned elder. Boy Scout Troop 443 and the Hug High Rifle Team (fresh off a regional championship) lent their hands and energy. Thanks to all who made this rugged build a success!
