Hey guys! I drew my Gunnison basin mule deer tag for 2nd rifle this year. I am super excited and, this being my first Mule Deer hunt (I’ve hunted elk several times) I have been consumed in my research. I have poured through the data and read several books (I found Mr. Deening’s book a valuable resource). 2nd rifle is Oct. 30-Nov.7. From what I have read, relying on summer patterns is a no go since migration and pre rut/rut activity is going to throw everything off. Weather can also be a huge factor that time of year. I have multiple spots picked out and plan to start high unless I believe weather has pushed them to lower elevations. I also plan to use several tactics derived from the books I’ve read. Does this seem about right as a plan for this time of year?
