season opens tomorrow

[vthokee]

I am excited about the mule deer late archery season tomorrow here in NM. I have permission to some great private land that has several good bucks cruising through it and staying on it from time to time. I have been glassing early morning and they are never in the same area. They are in the general area but not specific enough to were I could setup on them. Tomorrow is opening morning and I think I know what I want to do so here it is. I will get there early in the am park the truck and walk up on the rise that overlooks all the property. From there when the sun comes up I can glass and see were they are moving. If nothing is moving out in the fields I can slip back over into the canyons on the back side of the ag fields. In the evening I plan to setup between the canyon and the ag fields because I have been seeing them in the fields at dusk. Any thoughts or suggestions to my plan would be very helpful.
Thanks

Sounds like whitetail hunting lol

AZ OTC tag starts tomorrow too. One of the best hunts that anyone can do.

Chasing Muleys in the peak of the rut with a bow... I love 1/1.

Az has been open for couple weeks.

Not if you killed a deer in 2013.

New year, new season.

should have mentioned this is for NM. I will be hunting in Eastern NM not far from the TX state line. Also how is it like whitetail hunting? I have hunted whitetails for almost 20yrs before moving here to NM. Hunting here is nothing like hunting whitetails.

Sounds like spot and stalk mule deer hunting to me. I think you have it right. I always say the three eights of hunting. Elevate, locate and assassinate.

Good luck to you. I've heard that country is turning out some good bucks. Be sure to let us know how your hunt turns out.

Best of luck and happy new year.

Spot and stalk seems your best option, But check the trails and see if one has more traffic then others and you can then chance it and sit on it.
Another thing I have used in the past was put something on those other trails to make them move to a trail I'm sitting on.
Exp: old sweat clothes, WD-40, Tinfoil moving in the wind, some times you can get the results you are looking for by changing the game.

I just mean the part about using the ag fields as your focal point. I have hunted western mulies my whole life and never had ag fields come into play, whereas almost every eastern whitetail article I read incorporates them somehow. But many of the central states have alot of Muley action on or around ag stuff. All I have around me here in AZ is cactus:/ Get'r done!
