Anyone know anything about how to find mule deer in high alpine country?

David Long's Public Land Mulies: The Bottom Line is a good read, as well as Eastman's Hunting High Country Mule Deer. Glassing is a great way to see some awesome country and find bucks. There is nothing like being up top somewhere. That being said, high country basins aren't the only places mature bucks hangout.

With binoculars..

You need binoculars and spotting scope. As stated above, I would get David Longs book or any other mule deer book. Goodluck, fatrooster.

binoculars on a tripod and a few hours at sunrise and sunset.

I agree that sunrise and sunset are very productive, but don't overlook the rest of the day. You will be able to pick out a lot of bedded bucks during the day in some places. Also, they get up, stretch and snack/move once during the day as well.
