I was lucky enough to draw an archery tag. I have not a clue where to start looking, weather condition, etc. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
 
I drew same area for Cow...Aug 1 - 24. Maybe we can share info? Are you going up early to scout? I will be. Matt

I have the same tag. Last year I had a muzzy deer tag. It's a great area. This will be my first archery cow hunt. I'm up for trading some info if you guys are. This will only be my second year hunting this area but Ive been spending a lot of time up there.
 
Hey sandm, I also drew an archery area 22 muley buck tag. I went out last weekend for a little 'familiarization' trip. Plan to be out looking around every weekend till season. I've already made a list of prospective areas. Do some desktop research on Google Earth and brush up on Mule deer habitat and behavior! That will get you pointed in the right direction

Keep in touch, I'm cool with sharing info gained.

Personally, I'm looking for meat this year and not really super interested in trophy hunting...though I won't pass up a presented opportunity. Harvested my 'trophy' last year and I don't need all those taxidermy bills right now. :7

Cheers and good luck!
 
Might head up this weekend to 22, we will see. Ill let you know if I find any deer. If we find a big enough one, might have to buy my junior a muzzleloader....
 
Hey Dancermatt,
I tried to PM you, but your message box is disabled. I have the same archery deer tag and have been out scouting. I am happy to share information (already seen a couple dozen), in exchange for buck deer sightings. Not looking for a trophy buck, just a good eater. Thanks in advance.
 
I don't know why it would be disabled. I'll look into that. I'm going up this summer to scout. I'll be using GPS so I'll send you Lat/Long of where and what I see for deer. I'd love some help for the Elk...Boys or Girls. LOL Matt

Thanks for the tip, I checked it out this weekend and saw some bucks and bulls, a lot of hiking.
Thank you
 
Huge country. Doesn't look so big from the hiway. Some points are measured in hours, not miles. But would be my starting point for either archery buck or bull.

The other thing I would look isvthe water north of there to the hiway, on the west side.

PM me after you scout it.

Looking back from where the last picture was taken from inside the blind.

I cut the trees with a chain saw and leaned them up against the big pine for afternoon shade.
