So here in Washington we have a muzzleloader season that sits in between archery and modern(I believe it’s last week of September/first week of October timeframe, somewhere in there).
I’ve hunted mule deer in November last year, and I’ve hunted them in September a few years back. I’ve never attempted to hunt them in this time frame.
The area I’ll be in, the bottoms are at 5.5k~ and the tops at 7k. I guess the technical bottom would be closer to 1k but that’s quite a ways away. The habitat is mainly high mountain, with some burned area, thick timber and swampy meadows with some open hillsides interspersed throughout.
Now for the golden question - I’m not asking for your honey hol… oops wrong thread - haha I kid, where will the deer be during this timeframe? Are they still gonna be in bachelor groups at the tops, or would they have started to split off by this time? Will they still be using the hillsides/open areas for food or will they have moved on? Any other pointers for this timeframe? The hunt is 1 week long.
Thanks in advance.
