Three of us drew deer tags for these units. My father is from out of state so this is going to be a big hunt for him. The only reason we put in for the unit is because it was close to home and we don't have a ton of money to travel this year.

We spent this weekend looking around in the Desatoya and Clan Alpin mountains. We didn't see any deer and hardly any sign. Does anyone have any suggestions on areas to check out?
 
It seems year after year more deer show up in the alfalfa fields and less and less in the mountains for this area. Deer can be hard to find in this unit. But your doing the right thing by scouting now. There are still some deer to find in the mountains.
 
LAST EDITED ON Jun-13-16 AT 10:07AM (MST)[p]Last year we hunted for 3 days in the Desatoyas and my buddy shot a small 4x4, only deer we saw. 3 years ago we did see very nice deer as we were helping a buddies kid with his junior tag.

I think the mixture between too many predators and horses have really taken its toll on the unit.
 
I drew the same tag. According to NDOW the majority of bucks are being harvested in 181 but I can't figure out where. When I ask anyone I hear the Stillwater, Clan, and Desatoya ranges and don't mention any areas in 181. Only 15% of 181 is public so maybe their hunting private land?

I'm in need of some help too. Lots of country in those units...
