High buck hunt

[MuleyFreak22]

Considering doing the high buck hunt with a buddy was wondering if it’s worth it or just better to wait till regular season?

Yep, go and have a new experience, best way to learn if it's worth it. Depending where, water can be one of your big challenges but no different than alpine hiking/climbing/camping is. Don't expect to be the only group out there.

I usually go, though realize success rates are really low (like 2%).  Buying a bear tag will def increase your odds of bringing home meat.

It’s a nice time to be in the mountains, it can be a lot of work for a very low success rate.

Treat it as a warm up hunt.  Generally a great time to be in the hills but typically a very low success rate and often more crowds then you would expect both hunters and non hunters.

Just like the others said, pretty low success, but the country is beautiful and worth every penny to be there. If you've never done this before, try a overnight trip and see if you like it. Leave early, very early in the morning, hunt the afternoon and then the next day to early afternoon. This will help in letting you know what you need to change, not change, as well as giving you an idea on what it will take to get a boned out deer and camp out.
