WY Deer 102

[elknr]

I drew for Utah Mt. Nebo elk archery and have been busy and havent been able to scout for deer in 102.Does anyone have a good place to start and maybe get away from the crowd.I was able to go up once and spent a day on little mtn.Got some trail cams up,But this is a huge area.Where do most of the people hunt?Is there many deer next to the shore of gorge?Any help appreciated.Thanks.......To the guys who want to bash me for not knowing anything about an area.I have put in for this area for 10 plus years with max points and when i finally drew i drew 2 limited tags and cant be two places at once.So go easy on me.

LAST EDITED ON Sep-21-10 AT 09:51PM (MST)[p]I hunted it in 2005 for deer and then for elk in 2008. I got a 186 deer. The story was in Trophy Hunter Mag. My bull was about a 310 but he had a real neat fish hook shape. He walked himself and his cows up out of a deep hole, right where I could get him out easily and stood broadside at 550 yards. I had help with me on this trip. A good friend that gave up opening day deer hunt to go with me. Everything seemed to say "this is a gift, accept it graciously." And I did! Anyway, I also went with another friend that drew for deer. Most deer hunters seem to swarm the south end of Little Mtn. A lot of pressure off the west side just below the pines and quakes. If I were to draw again I would want to explore the north end. It just looks like good deer habitat. I've known several that have taken good bucks down off the south end in the pinion/junipers. There's some big deep canyons and lots of hidden country. There's a lot of mid range bucks across the highway, south of Clay Basin. There's also quite a few 2 tracks. You'll notice a huge area on the north side of Clay Basin, with a steep rim running east and west along it from the highway to Pine Mtn. I saw a guy packing a great buck up out of that area down where the dirt road drops south into Browns Hole. Now that's a good chunk of teraferma that you probably won't see anybody messing with. There is some good looking country all along the east side of the Res. but I haven't spent time in it. I have a couple other spots that I could tell you about if you need more info.
