Had a late whitetail tag there a few years ago.  Couldn't find a whitetail to save my life, but saw several good muleys.  I noticed that mule deer were pretty well distributed throughout the unit. 
Good luck!  :tup:

Seeing the comments about two points on here and thinking about people referring to "management bucks" which is a funny way of saying , I shot an unimpressive deer, who cares as long as you like it it's your deer!... Anyway, I recall watching a Realtree episode or something like Bill Jordan Outdoors and the folks from the King Ranch we're on there discussing how no matter what they did to try to cull bucks with certain traits the only thing that mattered in the end for antler size was herd health and the amount of nutrition and minerals the deer were getting. They stated exactly what was stated on here. There are probably more does carrying the same genes as that buck than you could ever figure out so it won't change the herd dynamics or antler traits in a foreseeable amount of time. They tried it for years unsuccessfully.

I'm tagging along hoping the o.p updates us. I offered him the spot where I saw a mature 2pt. It was actually a big body and horned deer. But i did not here from him. Would've like to take that buck for myself

There are a few of them around up there. We had one on our place for or five years ago. Big body and 2 thick long points on each side. A buddy hunting archery saw him several times.

The 2 I saw was looking right at us at about 100 yards during muzzy season. Told my wife and cousin get ready shot him when I confirm it's a 3pt. He was really tall and wide thought we were on a great antlered buck.When they are looking right at ya it's hard to make out points but you can see the width and height. He turned and I said it's a huge 2, pretty amazed. Then I spotted a smaller 3x2 and my cousin put a great stalk on him and made a nice shot for his 1st deer. Said he had that 2pt at 60 ft after he shot without a care in the world.
