Hi guys and gals, I am planning deer hunt for my 10 yr old son to unit 23. The dates are 10/25 through 10/31(we only have my sons tag to fill). Hoping to backpack in and around C.B. Mountain in unit 23. The questions I have are......how is deer population there? Can we expect to see 25 to 40 deer a day or closer to 5 or 10. How's the cell service up there? What can we expect to see as for hunting pressure 3 to 5 miles in? Is a personal 4 point minimum asking too much for the area? Can we hope to see any elk or are we wasting our time? If I'm looking in the wrong area I am 100% open to advice or suggestions. This will be my sons first out of state hunt. My son will have elk and deer tags, should he have a wolf tag too or just use his elk tag? I of course have looked at data as far as harvest statistics go and see it seems like an decent hunt. I'm not looking for anyone's secret spot just a few thoughts or ideas from guys who have burned some boot leather on the ground there. Thank you in advance for your time!!!!
P.S. I do understand that this will not be a physically "easy" hunt for my young son. My two boys have logged many 12 mile days in the mountains and I want my son to earn his buck as they seem so much sweeter!!!!
Sincerely,
Jeremy
