Mule deer tag

[savage270]

I drew a mule deer buck tag in unit 4B and am looking for some assistance from those of you that have done this before. I don’t want anyone’s secret spot or anything, just some basic information that will get me pointed in the right direction as I have never specifically hunted mule deer with a rifle. First off, any recommendations on places to camp in that unit? What habitat should I target? Near the river, near crops or the nastiest badlands terrain I can find? I plan on heading out there in a couple of weeks to get the lay of the land/roads. I assume it doesn’t pay to do much scouting now though, since they will have completely different locations/patterns in mid-November?

Time spent on Google earth looking at 4b with a public land map overlay is a good place to start. Choose your top 5 or so areas. Then scout like a mad man. Time on Target, burned up boot leather, some sweat equity, and good honest effort will get you much further than any supposed secrets. Good luck and post pics if you get one so I for one, can be jealous, call you bad names, and generally bad mouth you and your ancestry into mild oblivion.

P.S Congratulations on the tag!

Pretty simple. Good Boots, clothing and a well planned pack. Be willing to hike farther than the average joe/jane. When you feel.like you've hiked in far enough and are gonna turn around, dont.....you are still another ridge away from where u want to be.
