I need your guys help. I drew a unit 55 rifle tag for 10/16-10/22 and I live in WI. I have been along on muley hunts in eastern MT, but that was mainly driving and glassing on a ranch. I would like to do a do it yourself backpack hunt, I am working on a limited budget so I can't afford a guide. I am not looking for any secret spots just a general direction to look. i am willing to work hard and pack in as far as it takes to avoid the crowds. I am looking for help in finding the animals. Where are they during this time? Are the wilderness areas my best bet? How much weather or snow will force them down lower? I have been reading Mike Eastman's book and Dwight Schuhs.Are these the best tactics, the set up early and glass strategy? Are topos any use for prescouting from another state? What are some other tips you guys can offer? I am not looking for a record, just a nice representative buck. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Post or email me. Thanks
