Yerington Monday: Hunting in Mason & Smith Valley
|
Hunting was a real big thing when I was a kid. It helped supplement a lot of Yerington’s families with food. There were hunters who hunted quail, pheasant, wild turkey, duck, deer and occasionally a porcupine. Then there were sportsmen who hunted coyotes, wolves, wildcats and mountain lions, At lease once a year we were invited out to Dr. Mary & Fred Fulstone’s ranch during pheasant hunting season, so my brothers could be taught how to hunt by “real” men as my mother was a single parent. My brothers really enjoyed themselves.

The Yerington/Mason Valley area to this day supports hunters. There is Junior’s Gun Shop for guns and ammo, the Mason Valley Trap Club for practice, the CottonWood Hunt Club & the Mason Valley Hunt Club stocked with birds, and in nearby Smith Valley the Walker River Resort Hunting Preserve.

Junior's Gun & Pawn Shop offers you the kind of small-town atmosphere where the coffee's always on and the solid, expert advice is free. We take the time to help you decide which gun is best for you. And, should you have any problem with your gun, we handle it for you.
We keep a good selection of accessories on hand for every type of shooter. We have a variety of ammunition in just about any caliber you'll need, by the box or in bulk. If you prefer handloading, you'll be glad to know that we carry powder, primers, bullets and other reloading components, as well as dies and reloading accessories. Plus, we're regularly ordering presses and other equipment from RCBS and Lee Precision. For transporting your guns, we offer you a variety of holsters from Fobus, Galco, Uncle Mikes and Bianchi. To keep your guns secure, we'll order you a top-quality safe from Browning and other makers.
Our selection of optics includes a variety of scopes from brands such as Simmons, Nikon, Redfield, Tasco and Burris, as well as red dot sights from Aimpoint. A good knife is as important as a good gun, which is why we carry models from Case, Browning, and Old Timer. At Junior's, we have cleaning supplies, bipods, rings, mounts, and just about any other accessory you'll need. What's more, we'll always order in any accessory that we don't have in stock.
Our customers are always amazed that a small-town shop like ours could have such a fine selection of guns. Our constantly-changing inventory includes over 100 new and used models from makes like Thompson Center, Cimarron, Bushmaster, Taurus, Browning, Marlin, Mossberg, Colt, Sigarms, Winchester, Remington, Beretta, New England Firearms, Savage, Glock, Sako, Ruger, Henry, Springfield Armory, Chipmunk, Crickett, Snake Charmer, Kel-Tec, Bersa, Para Ordnance, Walther, Smith and Wesson, Weatherby, Twin Pines Rock Island, and more. We also carry muzzleloaders from CVA, Traditions, and Thompson Center. Because we're constantly buying, selling and trading guns, our selection is always changing, so you'll want to stop in often to see what's new. If you're looking to sell your gun, see us first for the best price. Or, if you like, we'll sell it for you on consignment. We also handle out of state transfers.
If your gun needs routine maintenance or repair, we'll help you with that as well. Just bring it on in.
To get to our shop from Carson City, take Highway 50 to Silver Springs, then head south on Highway 95A into Yerington. You'll find us right on Main Street next to Citibank. We'll be ready to greet you!

MASON VALLEY HUNT CLUB

Telephone:+1 775-741-4447
Yerington residents Marty Howard and Tony Reviglio have joined together to form the Mason Valley Hunt Club, whose first season starts on Aug. 15.
Howard had conducted the Mason Valley Guide Service for many years before he and Reviglio decided to expand the hunting services offered.
Reviglio said Howard, who also was affiliated with hunts through Casino West, conducted waterfowl (goose and ducks) and migratory bird hunts in the mornings, and they decided offering upland game hunts in the afternoons would give the hunters something else to do while in Mason Valley
