Mule deer question
« on: August 29, 2017, 01:21:00 PM »
What would you guys who have a clue do?
So I'm in the high country at 12,000ish feet. I hike up the side this nice like bowl at daybreak and bust two bucks out on my way up. They fled over the hill and the next thing I see is another nice buck on the other side of the bowl. He is at a muleys fastest trot before the hop and getting out of the canyon.
It's midday and I haven't seen hide nor hair since first light.

Question: if my camp is right next to the bowl should I stay there hoping that bucks will filter in at night and be more careful in the morning in my approach...or should I pack up and find another spot

Give it another day and adjust your route.  If nothing is observed in the AM move locations.
  By the way I am very envious of your present situation.  maybe next year I will draw a tag.  Hope you get a big one like the dvd I sent you.

I'd try to get into a good glassing situation before first light and watch that bowl for a good while.

Also my campsite is tucked away and I don't think it's the issue but rather my poor choice of approach. Thanks for the advise guys!
