    Idaho Mule Deer OTC

    Understood, we have more than that one spot. Just where I think are greatest chance is to turn up bigger deer. If nothing in those basins we will move.

    Idaho Mule Deer OTC

    Agreed, we will be glassing from up there down into 8500-7200 or so. From my limited experience it looks very good but also going to just have to see this fall. The feed seems to be there in butter brush and other foods. I’m going to try and glass south facing slopes.

    DIY mule deer

    I can give you my insight on Idaho over the past few years i have hunted there. Deer are there, but you really have to find them in the offseason. I am on the east coast 24 and don't have the time or money to do that. We have found a few alright deer but also spent 10 days hunting very hard...

    Idaho Mule Deer OTC

    Idaho Mule Deer OTC

    The basin ill be in is ranging from 9200 down to around 7000. I would love to change the dates, unfortunately I am unable to since my hunting buddy could only get off that week. Do you think the 9000-7000 will be no good then from the 18th-28th? We were hoping that weather wasn't too bad and it...

    Idaho Mule Deer OTC

    Great I ordered the book. I think these past few years I just wasn't high enough and watching thicker timber stands hard enough. I appreciate the reply and the advice.

    Altitude sickness question

    If the trip allows I always climb elevation slowly and adjust to each level. I have never gotten sick knock on wood, but it affects everyone differently. I take the time to adjust just so I don't ruin my hunt. The pill effect is why I've never done it. Like others stated do you really need to...

    Idaho Mule Deer OTC

    Few questions: I have hunted Idaho before and just never laid eyes on a big mule deer. Im not looking for the next world record, just a decent 3 by 3 or 4 by 4. What elevation is best for last week of rifle oct 19-28th? Timber mixed with open areas that they come to feed? I have seen them in...
