So this year we got a lucky draw with myself, my buddy and our wives for mule deer rifle in unit K. High level, i am the only one with knowledge of hunting the backcountry and mountain camping (granted this is rather timid compared to other areas).
With that said, we are leaving our houses Oct 1st and hunting through the 10th. We have been E-scouting and I am obviously taking the lead with making plans and where to camp, where to hunt the first few days etc. I feel torn between keeping this completely public and lucky (where preparation and opportunity meet) and asking about private access.
So here i go with the deep end, i know there are quite a few people on here with resources and i would like to at least pose the question, for my wife/my buddies wife, does anyone have a higher opportunity area on private they would offer to grant to them? I plan to keep my hunting public but would like to see if i can give my wife her first western experience with at least seeing plenty of wildlife. We can discuss compensation and/or planning in PM's
Now that i bit the bullet on asking, i will be researching the heck out of multiple forums and maps for hunting this unit and where to zero in on. Thanks to this group for having more info that a guy can look through and sharing knowledge. Time to start researching more for myself! another fun fall coming at us
