Has anyone chased deer in 5B in the last few years? Im fairly familiar with a good portion the unit but its been a few years since I have spent much time there. My dad got lucky and drew the deer tag. Just wondering if anyone has had any recent experience with deer there.
 
My friend drew it last year and killed a nice 4x4.There is a late bull hunt same dates as the deer hunt so there is alot of pressure on the roads which causes animals to be moved around.They scouted and found some really nice bucks but when the hunt came they had some trouble finding the bigger bucks...He ended up shooting the nice 4x4, ha had passed the same buck up on opening day....He said it was a good hunt , fun , alot of deer, but the elk hunters really pressure the animals..
 
I can attest to the number of elk hunters. I drew that tag last year. But the vehicle traffic didn't seem to bother the bucks I saw. They were preoccupied with other things.
 
Hi elkz
How was the Deer hunt in 5B? i have a Bull hunt in three weeks and was looking on information on where you saw some elk and road conditions.
 
I think the bull hunt is going to be fairly tough. We saw one bull hanging in a tree in the three days we were out there. Lots of elk hunters when we were there. My dad also has this hunt. We are going to try for a few days. Best of luck. Sorry i dont have better info.
 
I just drew a Deer tag in 5B. Not looking for honey holes, just areas to look at and, better yet, avoid.
Respectfully,
Mark
