Hey guys, I started hunting mule deer in 2015. Since then, I have shot 2 with a rifle and 6 with a bow and arrow. I am usually hunting them either in open canyon country or above tree line. I have gotten some access to some land locked public in Colorado that I know holds some good deer. My question is, I am pretty unfamiliar with bowhunting deer around 8-10k feet. There is a ton of cover obviously, and some open meadows, burns, mountain side browse and creek bottoms that are relatively open. How do you guys go about finding/hunting deer at those altitudes without being able to scout a lot, or am I basically limited to putting one to bed and trying to ambush it as it comes back to feed in the open areas and burns. Any tips and tricks are appreciated, I love to hear ideas and try new things....Thanks!
