Just want to say thanks to some of you guys that offered advice for our recent trip to 89 for mule deer. We were able to each get a buck and had a great trip. My brother-in-law killed a very nice 5x5 one afternoon and the next morning we found some deer bedded in a draw and I stalked to about 50 yards and shot the first buck that stood up, an average 4x4. Only after the shot did I realize there was a bigger buck just below the lip of the draw that I could not see but with his on ice and a long trip back to Arkansas it was best to take the first opportunity.
We saw some deer in the unit but not many mature bucks, one of the locals attributed that to lots of traffic for the elk and antelope hunts.
Deboning the animal in the field was new to us and lots of time behind binos was as well but it worked out great.
I am hooked on mule deer hunting but going to have to put some time in on research to figure out a plan for the draws to get to hunt each year.
Thanks again!!
