Find a spot and hunt it every year for three years. You will figure out the animals patterns. Go scout in late July and early August. Keep in mind that bucks will be more visible at that time of year, in general when they have velvet on there antlers they stay in the open more. Which will make them way easier for you to locate. Then once their antlers stop growing their pattern changes, but they don't generally move far. At that point look for cover, bedding areas, and water sources near where you had seen them in the summer. If you get out of eyesight of the road you may be surprised what you will find. (Keep in mind does being in an area does not mean there are bucks there)When you get to the hunting trip opening day is your friend, never miss it. Keep the wind in your face, and really pay attention to the noise you make. Shoot straight and please share your success when you find it

But I’m trying to focus on mule deer since I like being out in the mountains and rucking. Not much public land around Everett. I only know of one decent spot.
