I am planning a Utah mule deer hunt for the general rifle season this fall that will also be my brother's first hunt ever. The season is in mid to late October, and one of the biggest questions I am facing when trying to decide on a unit is where the mule deer will be in their migration to winter grounds at that time. The answer to that question will decide whether I pick a unit with more higher elevation national forest land, or more lower elevation BLM land. This being my brother's first hunt, there is a lot riding on us at least seeing animals, so I'm trying to make the best informed decision possible.
Can anyone break down where mule deer generally are during that time of the year in their migration?
