Hi. Was wondering if anyone had any tips for hunting clearcuts for muleys. The area I hunt in the Okanagan in Central BC has a lot of clearcuts (freashly logged areas) surrounded by dense forests of spruce, ceder, larch, and fir. The wooded areas are too thick and noisy to hunt which leaves the clearcuts. My approach so far has been to find the high ground and glass or still hunt paying attention to wind direction. I have seen a few nice bucks just before dark and always next to the timbered areas but wasn't able settle the cross hairs enough for a clean shot so passed these deer up. I think I am on the right track but was wondering if anyone else may have a few tips. I am used to hunting the bench lands along the Frazer River which is much more open but now have moved to a new area where these big bucks seem to come out into these clearcuts at night mostly. Haven't been able to find any really well used trails leading in or out of these cuts but have seen the odd rub. There is also a fair amount of vehicle traffic going through or by most of these cuts. The terrain generally has a 20 to 30 degree slope. Thanks..............cbear
