Thanks I'll have to figure out how to navigate the private property in the unit. Anyone have any experience in 45? There is tons of public land but most access is through private for $$$... Any advice on the unit is greatly appreciated!

im surprised they can charge you money to access public land?  What about easements?

Sounds like it's a  "trespass fee"? Looks like a lot of the property ownership extends to the middle of the roadways.  There is bound to be a good access point or two into the Bennett hills.  i

No need to pay an access fee.  There is plenty of public ground to hunt and it all holds good deer.   You will have a blast - be sure to hunt the last week of the season.

I will be down there as well   ;)

Good to hear JJ. I haven't laid eyes on very many big mulies so I plan on looking at lots of bucks before I take a shot. Have you hunted 45 before?

I think if you do a search on that unit you will find JJ knows a little bit about that area.  :chuckle:
"Shoot the spike".  It's much easier to pack out!

I've been a couple times.   It's a ton of fun - enjoy every second of it.   At times during the hunt, it's sometimes easy to start taking where you are and what you are doing for granted.  Don't - literally enjoy every second as it is a rare opportunity.

I will be there from the 24th until the end burning  boot leather and trying to wear out my  Swaros!  I will absolutely soak it all in... Taking an animal is a bonus to me it's all about the hunt and the country I'm in.  Ive never seen a monster mule buck it's going to be hard for me to pass on an average buck there

That being said I am going with the intentions of 180" deer. Anyone have a good resource for field judging muleys?

They've got some big 'ole bodied deer down there.   They get bigger on the ground.   I learned that lesson the hard way.   :chuckle:

Although I did see a couple 30"+ deer on my last hunt, most of the good scoring bucks are 24"-26" but look narrower because they are so tall.

Good I could use a freezer of venison steaks. Did you draw again this year?

No tag for me.  I'm just a lowly camp cook this year.
