We saw mostly whitetail in BHNF. Certain areas (Warrens Peak) and in town LOL held muleys. All the bucks we saw were forks and spikes. Young bucks were following does, but I think it was too early. We hunted the Nov 6th to the 12th. A week later probably would have been better. Perhaps the big boys would have come out. Saw many decent whitetails at the local butcher and one 5x5 bull elk taken in the same area. Mine was the only mule deer I'd seen brought in. I'm getting better though, last year was a small fork, this ones a little bigger. Maybe some day a decent 4pt. Living the midwest, makes it a little hard to scout. I do my homework the best I can and learn a lot here on MM. Next year I'm going guided for elk in CO. I have been doing these DIY for four years and getting better all the time. Good hunting.
