So in finishing up research prior to our hunt, which is coming up soon, I figured I would see if I could strike up a conversation on the topic here. First some background and info. Four Central Pa guys heading to Wyoming for their first mule deer rifle hunt and second western hunt. Hunting the west side of the Big Horns with a plan for hunting unit 50. The plan is to get there two days before season opens and split into groups of two to scout different areas. Plan to hunt till close of season.
What I've come to understand is that this time of year it would be better to glass early morning/ late evening and check down in the thick nasty cover. According to the biologist for the area we were told to focus on mountain mahogany as a food source. If willing, is there anything else anyone would like to add or share regarding mule deer in general, hunting them, or things to avoid?
Not sure how I missed this but I'm also in the process of reading Robby Denning's blog. Also, not looking for a giant buck but something decent, possibly respectable, if anyone has any pictures of a buck that would fall into this category to compare that would be awesome too. Thanks for you time everyone.
