LAST EDITED ON Sep-16-18 AT 02:32PM (MST)[p]Dkendall, that can pretty much be expected in 44 from archery through the later rifle seasons. It can be super tough finding deer of any kind (does or bucks) during the early seasons. The unit can be tough hunting early until the deer start migrating into it due to deep snow in mid to late November. The amount and timing of snow can obviously change from year to year. Some years there is little snow even in November. To add to the difficulty it is an OTC elk unit. Lots of bow, muzzy, and rifle elk hunters running up and down the roads/hills looking for elk. With that said, there are some great bucks...but you will likely have your work cut out for you during the early season. If you are fortunate to have snow during in Nov you will likely see deer!
