Imagine getting one of the most sought after mule deer tags in the world, and spending 75 days scouting with close friends, what a story.

It’s fun to think about drawing a super special tag….. and I always wonder when it comes down to it, how would you make the most of it!?!

I'll have to give it a listen when time allows.

I think for a lot of us there is a desire to have a guide to try to capitalize on it with the largest animal possible. I also think that path is much less rewarding from an experience standpoint for most of us.. DIY with friends sounds ideal its just that not everyone has the extra time outside of season and friends with time during season to spend on it.

No doubt. Time is a big thing and so valuable.

Just finished, this was a great podcast. Good on him to make the most of the entire experience and make the most of the tag. What an incredible experience. My hat is off to him and the way he went about the entire hunt.

I thought it was very interesting hearing about all the different deer behavior. One might tend to think that deer on the island would have no reason to develop reclusive/sneaky habits. I've always wondered how much of a deers habits are learned from hunting pressure, predators etc. vs how much is just engrained in them. I think this just goes to show that some deer are just born inherently sneaky. Very cool!

I didn’t know that you had to stay on the trail system if your just the general public. I have told my wife a couple times I wanted to go out there and spend a couple days looking for deer but that kind of changes things.
