Hey fellas,
ID finally came through and I drew something, honestly wasn’t expecting to draw but that’s the beauty of it; unit 39 early season any weapon tag 8/15-9/30 I believe. To say I’m excited would be an understatement. I’ve never had the opportunity to hunt early season mule deer and certainly not in an area of this caliber so there will be a lot of firsts.
I was wondering if there was anyone out there who has drawn this tag in the past or is even just real familiar with the area, that would be willing to shed some light on road/trail access (I hear there’s a lot of dirt bike trails) both motorized and non, deer habits in this unit, how high to expect water/greenery, types of cover they’re using (I’ve heard there is a lot of timber as well) and most importantly where to stay away from to a solid people like hikers and recreational folks.
Just wanting to get some general ideas specific to this unit. I don’t want anyone coming unglued that I’m asking about XYZ grandpas hunting spot, lazy yada yada (Though I wouldn’t turn down some jump off points if you feel so gracious haha).
Ive already started E scouting out some potential areas but I’m just pegging everything at this point before narrowing it down. I plan on making a trip down at the end of July once I have my “ABC” plan down pat to scout that out but that’ll probably be it other than a day or two before season opener, as it’s going to be about an 8 hour drive for us from North Idaho into the hunt area, with only a month and a half time to go.
If you’re still with me thanks for reading and if you have any input or advice for me thanks in advance.
Cheers!
