I am planning a DIY backcountry mule deer archery hunt for 2008 and am currently considering hunting pressure.
This hunt will take place in a wilderness area in Colorado (somewhere in the Gunnison/Aspen area). It will be a backpack/bivy hunt at least 3 miles from the nearest road - and probably much farther. I plan on hunting for the first 7 days of the season, which starts in late August.
My question is: what kind of pressure would you generally expect from outfitters during this early part of the season? Do many wilderness camps do high country archery hunts for mule deer? I have checked out the web sites of many outfitters in these areas and have a hard time finding much about their early season archery mulie hunts. Would the elk outfitters be going strong this early?
Any of you have any thoughts based on past experience?
thanks
