Looking for some advice as I haven't done much mule deer hunting as I always burn all my time elk hunting.
I have been building points in a few places and wanted some opinions on my best strategies.
Points I have now
10 in az
5 in co
4 in nevada
8 in wy
9 and 8 in ut
This year I should have plenty of time and want to hunt mule deer, don't care if archery or rifle but kind of think rifle might way to go as I won't get to scout ahead of town but I am also fine with a bow assuming the draw odds would be better.
I figure Colorado and wy would be my best bet and keep building in the others. But thought I would ask some people that know much more than me on deer.
I am not looking for the biggest buck on the mountain and would be happy with a smaller buck on a better quality hunt i.e. Not bumping into guys every day and having to spend half my hunt trying to avoid other hunters.
Any thought?
Thanks
Jared
