Big mule deer bucks are like money.......
They make some people do things they really don't want to do.
IMO, that buck should have went home with the lady hunter.
Good unit. True back country hunt. I drew it in 2016 after applying 39 years.
Lots of G-bears. In fact there was a large boar grizzly within 200 yards of my billy when I shot him...
Waiting for good hair can be a risk. Very hard to access after it starts snowing.
Enjoy it!
My "backyard". It's a really fun unit to hunt, nice country, mostly public, very scenic badlands, with a good number of mule deer throughout the entire unit...
If I were you, I'd scout it in August when the bucks are in groups. Lot's of access points from Highway 24, on the east side.
Enjoy...
