My words of wisdom for you Alta muzz guys are this, the area gets hit pretty hard between rifle permit guys and the 25 muzz tags. Don't be afraid to get away from the popular areas like Lookout Mt and the other Libby Cr areas.

Warm the Kubota up.

Snow will dictate where you will be hunting, for sure. Good luck; that's one of my near-and-dear areas. 'grats on the draw!

I had that tag last year, wow talk about the people, 25 tags  100+ people driving around.  Lots of beautiful country, dang fog cost me a big one.  I passed on a 5x5 the first day.  Big mistake,  oh well good luck hope for snow.

Great late tag.  Pray for snow, the big boys will hold up high till the last possible second.  The Alta is a huge migration unit, it all depends on what the weather does.  No weather, you best lace up your boats and get up where the air is thin.  I spend a lot of time in the Alta unit during all seasons.  Scotting now will only teach you the area.

This is a quality deer tag. Especially if you are willing to get off the road and put some miles under your feet. Alot of guys just want to drive around and road hunt which is ok if thats your cup of tea. But to get into the quality bucks you need to put distance between you and the roads. It also doesn't hurt to do a snow dance out there and pray for the white stuff.

I hunted there about 12 years ago with the Nov rifle permit.  Most of the deer will be in the lowest part of the unit in that open bitterbrush within a few miles of the Methow River.   Didn't see any deer in the high country.  During the rut, the does migrate down to the wintering ground by the first part of Nov whether there is snow or not.  The wintering grounds are also the breeding grounds in Nov so where you find does, you'll find bucks.  I also found that if there was no bitterbrush, there weren't many deer.  Look for those brown bitterbrush hillsides and glass them hard and you'll find them.
