Cali mule deer success

[scarboy11]

Get everyone just back from a backpack mule deer hunt here in California. Ended up taking this dude at 12,500 ft as he was bedded with seven other bucks! Anyone else having any luck?

Spotted them at first light watched them bed moved down and around the mountain back up to them. They moved beds to the top of mountain, at 12,500. Stalk took 2 1/2 hours wind switched twice lots of moving in on one spot the backing out and around and so on.

Here is a pic of the terrain they bedded down in. I was amazed. These big bucks live in harsh terrain. All slate rocks with patches of ankle high sage here and there. Pretty rugged country!
