I drew a Book Cliffs muzzle loader tag. Now that the thrill of drawing has wore off I need to get busy. I live in Michigan so most of my scouting will have to be by the net. I plan on getting there four days before the season opens to scout. I have hunted elk and mule deer north of Price quite a few times but I have never been in the Book Cliffs. Where can I get some good maps of the unit? What does that country look like? I would appreciate any info on the hunting down there. Please do not respond if your only advice is to turn my tag in because the unit is shot out. Thanks
 
Pm sent.

NO GUTS, NO STORY!!

had freind had this tag last year killed 25" 5by 8 last day said most better deer along colorado border pushed over from colorado.lots luck
 
I have the same tag. I will make at least one scouting trip and get there early as well. Will you have anybody coming out with you? Let me know if not.
 
You'll have a good hunt if your expectations are realistic. It isn't the best place to kill a monster, but its a fun hunt if you like seeing lots of deer. Scouting is important to familiarize yourself with the unit, but there are deer all over and it will be highly unlikely to scout out one buck and keep tabs on him. That is transition time and the bucks will have probably started to move down off the top. It might be a bit tough to find the same big buck twice. Do a search and you should find a lot of pics. There is aspen, pine and oakbrush up top, which transitions into pinon/juniper stuff lower. There are some burned areas that could be good too.
 
I want thank everyone for the posts, pm, and advice. This site has great members that truly understand the brotherhood of hunting. Thanks again to everyone's replies.
 
Congrats on a great tag. If you are looking for a monster you will not have the fun you would if you are just looking for a great rep of what a nice muley should be. Tons of deer, a lot of nice 4point, 3point, in the 20-24"range. I have a buddy who will be out there for the archery again this year,for his dad. He drew last year and is a great bow hunter. he took a nice buck and has some great pics before the hunt. I have a lot of pics of the area, been out there a few times and I love taking pics. 06' was the last year out there with my brothers archery hunt. Had a tremendous time and seen tons of deer. PM me and I can send you some pics of the area. Also if you have any other questions call and I will do all I can to help you out. Again Congrats on a great tag you will have a fun hunt!
