In Lickcreek you will find whitetails from the wheat fields all the way into the cayons of Mountainview.

  There will be some mulies at the edges of the wheatfields, a few in the deeper holes above George Creek, and along the edges of the 43 Road before dropping into Mountainview.

  This guy had just crossed the road and quickly headed to the bottom of Mountainview last season.

Thanks for the advice.

Firedogg, its whitetail buck only. I'd rather be hunting mule deers, but that would be a "quality buck" tag, not just a "buck tag."

[Firedogg]

There's some impressive whitetails in there in the really thick stuff. I've snagged a nice 5x6 and 5x5 out of there and three other 4x4's.  Scout often, sit late into the evening. Keep your scope on a low setting when you are moving because those bucks will hold so tight you almost step on them.

[Shawn Ryan]

Agreed. I always figure I have to hunt them like pheasants.

[Firedogg]

Is your tag during the general season?

[Shawn Ryan]

Mid-November. Bucks should be chasing tail.

Best advice I can give you is be there  for the entire season if possible.  I have seen numerous good bucks early in that late season just about every year I  have drawn (west unit).  Ironically the best buck I ever passed on was on the first day and I wanted to hunt for at least a week. Just treat every day of that season as an opportunity, as it will be awhile before you draw again.

Doubt I'll be able to swing two full weeks.

  Thanks for the advice. I'm thinking about splitting my time between the first couple days and then the last few days.  Makes me drive more and lose time in the back-and-forth, but those are probably the best days for me to hunt.

[Wacenturion]

If you can't swing the two weeks be there from Veteran's Day, the 11th on, if that is a holiday for you.  That way you're only using 6 work days if I'm figuring right.

We will be over there as well my son drew the same tag with 4pts he is a lucky kid he has the biggest buck in the family already.  I am hoping we can get it done in a long weekend since I am going to be tapped on vacation this year already.
