I was hunting the first deer hunt in unit 17 with my dad and brother this year and had little luck finding some nice bucks. Not many people I have asked had much experience deer hunting in this unit. This was hard to deal with when unit 17 is listed as a quality unit for deer. We went scouting a few times, made a huge effort to learn an area we had never been in before, and saw a few nice deer. However by the time we were done hunting in unit 15 for elk, the deer were pressured quite a bit. Did anyone have any luck during the first hunt? I am now sitting, waiting till January, when my deer hunt starts. I understand the early hunts are quite different than the later hunts so I'm here asking for help. I've never been in unit 17 deer hunting in January so I'd like to hear from anyone who has had past experience. I understand that a lot of people come on here asking for help on hunts, however I'm not asking for any honey hole spots. I'm just a law abiding hunter asking for help from those generous individuals willing to do so. If you don't have personal experience but can point me in the direction of someone who does, that'll do also. I thank you in advance and I hope to hear back from you all soon! Thanks
