Well earlier this year my brother had an archery Mule Deer tag in a unit in Eastern Utah. We tried a few different places within the unit and saw a few deer.
The last place we checked… of course it was a honey hole. Tons of legal bucks.. by the time we found the spot though we didn’t have much time. It was our first hunt together on public land so we made some mistakes and learned a ton. Hindsight is 20/20 right. Got within 80 yds of a great buck but unfortunately, he got away.
Looking back some of the things we should have done differently was glassed and watched them from the other side of the draw and then watched and waited until they bed down. Since we were running out of time, he put a rushed stalk on while they were out feeding and constantly moving around. Not knowing the area either, we couldn’t predict or know where they would go.. here are some pictures of a few bucks I glassed up. Sorry the pictures suck. It’s phone through glass no adapter…. Need to get one for this exact reason….
