Congratulations. So much of being a successful hunter is having a positive mental attitude. Don’t sweat the predators, they are more afraid of you than you are them!
There are deer in every general unit. As other have mentioned use resources that are available online to help narrow your search. On thing I love about mule deer is that they live in a variety of habitat. Go hunt the type of country you enjoy and give it your best effort.
Looks like a good starting point to me. From my experience chasing bucks in the high Sierra they can be much higher than you think. I have seen them in the rocky goat country. Look for areas with lots of willows and that will be thier primary food source. Good luck
I was able to pull a tag for the early rifle hunt in 171-173. I am just trying to get an idea of what I should expect from this hunt. I will most likely have a week to hunt and plan on hunting the last 7 days of the season. I don’t have an ichy trigger finger and hope to find a mature buck if...
My Pop’s hunted it in 2018 and had the same experience as others have mentioned... a tough hunt and not a lot of deer seen. He ended up getting a mature buck in a neighboring unit. Since it’s a general tag I wouldn’t get too set on one particular unit. Good luck!
Does anyone have experience putting a break on a Tikka T3?
I have a 7mm rem mag that I am considering putting a break on and would like to know everyone's experience. I had a guy tell me that his accuracy went down once a break was put on...
Thanks
I spent 3 season on a IHC and 5 total in wild land. The summers with the hotshots were some of the best times of my life. The sound of multiple saws running still gets me going. The only down side was fire season impacted my hunting season, But in many ways it made me a better hunter.
