I'm in need of some scouting and hunting tactics advice. I have only spent 4 years learning the unit I currently hunt on, so I know I will need to spend plenty more before I truly know the area. I have spent some time before my hunt scouting, but have never had any success. I know there are big deer in the area, but the problem is it's thick (aspen and tall brush) and EXTREMELY steep. The only deer I have seen without actually hunting the mountain side are 2 and 3 year old bucks. Most of the mature deer hangout 1/2 to 2/3 up the mountain. The only success I have had hunting it is moving extremely slow and glassing ahead of me. Problem is, when I find them they are close and usually have me pegged so I don't get much time to look at the buck before having to decide to shoot or pass. Anyone on here have much success hunting thick terrain? If so how do you scout and hunt it? Thank you all in advance!
