    Scouting Central Idaho Mule Deer

    M Makes sense, do you view from a distance a couple weeks before the October season or are you checking on it throughout August and September? I'll be elk hunting near this area so I'm planning on doing a little muley scouting during that time as well.

    Scouting Central Idaho Mule Deer

    I have my camp and glassing spots already picked out from hunting it 2 years ago I just am curious if it would be worth scouting in the summer for an October hunt or if most people experience that everything gets shuffled around that time of the season due to weather and getting close to the rut...

    Scouting Central Idaho Mule Deer

    Scouting Central Idaho Mule Deer

    Frank Church November hunt

    And that's where my mind is at too, kind of gotta wait to see what the weather does. I have multiple areas picked out for camps depending on the snow level. Just curious to see if people have experience as to the level the deer are typically at that time of year but yeah i figure if there isn't...

    Frank Church November hunt

    Going into the Frank this November 6th-14th, should I be looking for more benchy, burnt and brush type country that is lower elevation (5k-7k feet) or higher country with timber pockets and steep rocky cliff areas?
