From my research seems like quality of bucks & hunt can be very weather dependent? Go hunt had 170 potential but that dnt mean much... just figured since i should have antelope 52 tag in pocket as well(same area) I'd burn 5 pts in reg draw & get a deer tag & rifle hunt first week of October as a combo hunt. I've only killed one mule deer, utah general season velvet forky with a bow, fun hunt but I'm not too picky( but dream of a nice muley to go with my few 160 class whitetail on the wall. But at end of day I only get to go out west every other year & since antelope & deer tag should I plan to shoot the first decent buck bigger then a fork I see or if I get off the roads & hunt hard hold off for something better. A 130- 150 doable or plan on meat buck/eating tag? Any feedback appreciated from guys who have hunted this area for deer or antelope, feel free to pm, my 10th post so should be able to reply haha

Did you end up pulling an 80 muley tag? I am looking at it this year with similar predicament.
