When scouting for mule deer, how much time do you spend in any one area. In the morning do you sit one basin in hopes to see one come out. or do you hit as many as possible before they make their way back to the trees. If your morning scout is a bust do you look for other areas in the evening or stay in the same area to see if you missed anything in the morning. how often do you find that new bucks will show up in an area, versus covering country looking for more. I have been out on one scouting trip so far and i got the feeling the deer are scattered and did not see many bucks. With feed and water everywhere, will the bucks stay lower and in the thick stuff versus feeding into the high country? My other thought is the "green wave" has been slower to move up the mountains this year and because of this the deer dont have to go to the high country for late summer green feed. Counting down the days till i go out again!
