Heading to Colorado from South Texas in October for my first Mule deer hunt. I drew a 2nd rifle antlered tag for unit 77, 771, 78. I have been e scouting some areas so far and wen there once before. Last time I was in the area I hunted Elk and did not come up with an animal, but saw more mule deer than elk. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Not asking for spots just general info. I will be accompanied by a coupe buddies who want to experience Colorado. We plan on setting up camp near the truck and would like to be about 9500 feet. I have done the backpack in thing and it was definitely an experience. I was just figuring with deer we should try to locate and close the distance but I may be waaaay off. Thanks for any input and good luck to everyone this year.
