Central Idaho Mule Deer

[roadhntr]

I typically just ignore these kind of posts but I can't help it.......

Where do you think you should go look?

How is OnX not real helpful????

It's a desert, think about how to hunt in a desert. If you don't know, call the biologist. Do some actual homework first though or he might just hang up on you.

In all honesty if some other dude did exactly what you're doing, which is asking for a hand out publicly on an internet searchable forum for your favorite hunting unit how would you respond?

It's about as ridiculous as asking one of your buddies if you can kiss his old lady.....

I don't look at it that way at all. I've literally helped dozens of hunters asking for a little direction and have made as one good friends in doing so. A little more charity in the hunting community we wouldn't hurt. Especially this time of year.

Last post was taken down due to it having the unit in the title...

I'm going to hunt mule deer in central/southern Idaho near the Columbia Plateau. That land is super flat which is why I had to pick that because of the people going with. They are too old for rough terrain. I've only hunted in areas with elevation so can anyone give any pointers (besides locating water sources) as to how to scout so we can at least see some Muley bucks? Not looking for your honey hole. I'm one of the dreaded nonres hunters that has never step foot in this unit and OnX isnt much help. Thanks in advance.

Sibe03, send me a pm and I'll give you some advice.

Come on man, "spot burning"? Someone that has already drawn or bought the tag and are asking for general information about a unit. The same information that a biologist would probably give is hardly hot spotting. You guys need to lighten up a little. It wouldn't hurt to be a little less aggressive on deleting and locking post. Maybe a new leaf can be turned in 2025.

Then calling the biologist should cover it and a step everyone new to a unit should be doing right away anyways.

There is a dear hiding somewhere in this photo - not giving out the coordinates.

Sure that can be a good route but not all biologist are very helpful. Some don't want to help. I absolutely have no problem with someone asking answers to general questions.
