As I have been doing research this year on where I want to hunt Mule deer in MT. I have been looking into permit hunts to put in for and I have noticed a few hunts that the units directly adjacent to a permit unit has less pressure than the permit unit itself. 1 example is 210-50 the 216 unit has considerably less pressure by about 500 hunters. The terrain is identical other than the rock creek drainage. Most states I have hunted that have permit hunt units the units surrounding is packed!
