Seeing bucks!?

[bowhunt3r4l1f3]

Any of you peeps out there seeing bucks on this muzzy hunt? It's been a dead zone for me and everyone I've talked to! I hiked 26 miles in the first 2 days glassing my azz off and found one 2 point! Areas where I normally see 10-20 bucks per day. I cannot figure it out. My only guess is they are waiting till the last 5 minutes of light to even move around for the day. Mornings I haven't even seen a deer! Evenings I've been seeing doe and fawns starting to move around the last hour of light.

What's everyone else been seeing?

Coming home from work tonight in Mt. Pleasant ,about 4:30 , I had 3 bucks cross the road just before Fairview. 2 were small and 1 about 20". 3 or 4 days ago had 2 bucks I. My field behind the house, both 4X4 low 20s. Also been a nice bull hanging out down the road a PEICE. Have a buddy with a tag watching him. I have 0 big game tags.. If I had a tag probably wouldn't see chit.

Tough SOB here as Well!

Early Snow Storm here didn't Help!

Weather Screwed with Us/Deer Every Day!








Back Me Off to 1,700 Yards,650 is a Little Close & I'm Not Comfortable with it!

A GUT SHOT at 1,700 Yards will Still Make Some Good BRAGGIN Rights so I Can Say I At Least Hit Him!

Just asking in general about how it is going across the state. Not asking for any spots or nothing. I know where they should be. Just ain't seeing em.

I seen a lot of average bucks and a few really good bucks. Alot less younger bucks. As a dedicated hunter I have one picked out hopefully he sticks around for the rifle hunt

They are probably hiding out with all those 350 bulls that disappeared on you

You obviously didn't glass enough if ya walked 26 miles

My thoughts too. It's supposed to be a deer hunt, not a death march.

LAST EDITED ON Oct-19-17 AT 03:36PM (MST)[p]Spent quite a few days between bow-hunting myself and on the muzzleloader hunt with my son this year.
Saw lots of deer but there seems to be a shortage of yearlings this year. Most years we see some everyday, this year I saw one yearling 2 point all year.
Wasnt too surprised as I saw quite a few dead fawns on the winter range.
Definitely going to be missing a year class of deer for the next few years. Hopefully a bit better winter for them this year.

hunted the muzzy season on central mtns manti. up on n skyline mainly. it was very bleak as far as buck go. saw a few small bucks on private but only one spike on public ground. weather and road conditions didnt help but still covered a lot of ground with very little deer sightings.

My friend had the mid season wasatch elk tag. I was actually impressed with the deer and the quality of some of the bucks we seen.
The elk, not as impressed!
