[QUOTE="Retired Educator, post: 124477, member: 3373"] Lot's of good ideas from others, don't give up on finding a landowner who may allow you to camp on his/her property. I have found that most of the ranchers in mule deer country are good and friendly people. Not all of them allow hunting or even camping but they usually have a reason. Maybe family coming or too many cattle in the area you want to hunt. Just because they won't allow access doesn't make the unfriendly. It's also not uncommon that someone ahead of you had left a bad taste in their mouth, make sure you don't do the same for the future hunters. When you talk respectable bucks I assure you that the first branch-antlered mule deer you see is going to look pretty big compared to whitetails. Don't let that scare you from shooting a nice buck. The hunt is the trophy. I'd rather shoot a smaller buck that I had sighted and then stalked within good shooting range and made a good shot than jumping out of the pickup and shooting it across the hood.
