Hi team,
I was lucky in the draw this year and picked up an Area G deer tag. I hunted mule deer in Colorado last year and loved the hunt so decided to try my luck in Wyoming. I'm travelling over from New Zealand and have about 10 days to hunt from 1st September onwards. The plan is backpack hunt and camp where ever I end up.
I've picked apart a few spots on google earth and have a good idea where I'll hunt, and have a couple of back up plans. The country looks unreal and really excited about exploring some new mule deer country.
I would like to know about hunting pressure in the early season. Is there any areas that I should not go due to hunting pressure, like off Greys River Rd etc? Can I expect to see large numbers of archery hunters about in the backcountry during this period?
Also, is it a bad idea to camp near the small alpine lakes? Or are the high alpine lakes a regular watering spot for deer?
