Mule deer hunt

[BuckRage]

LAST EDITED ON Aug-05-12 AT 00:35AM (MST)[p]I got a tag in NM Unit 24 rifle Nov 10-14 for mule deer buck. First time mule deer or hunting in NM. Any advice on the unit or how to choose an area or what to look for would be greatly appreciated. I'm used to whitetail in Texas but NM mulie deer has been high on my list. I have researched but its nothing like hearing it first hand from experienced hunters. Thanks.

Tough unit for big mule deer. There are a lot of road hunters so if you get off the road you will find the deer. Get on top of a high point and glass. Thats the best way to find mule deer bucks.
