I had that tag 2 years ago and hunted the crap out of it.  Passed up a 5x5 the 1st day that was wide but no mass and the forks where tiny.  I hunted really high and didn't have much luck,  I was in 16-20 inches of snow.  It was a fun hunt but I only saw a couple of nice ones.  My expectations were way to high.  There were a ton of road hunters but I didn't see anyone in the woods when we were stomping around.  If I remember right the camp grounds up high were closed at that time of year.  Or maybe just no one in them. :dunno:  There is plenty of land and areas to hunt.  I hunted Gold Creek, Libby Creek, and spent 2 days hiking around Black Canyon.  Black Canyon is were I saw the biggest buck but the fog was so bad I couldn't see well enough to shoot. :bash: :bash:  The area at the top of the black canyon road seemed like classic sage brush and Mule Deer Country. The fog was bad that year.  There seemed to be much more deer down low on the private land.  I hunt the regular season in unit 145 and it is all private, so I really wanted to hunt something different.

I'd hunt low in the sagebrush/bitterbrush that time of year.

Yeah lesson learned.   :chuckle:  I hunt a lot of late season whitetail in the deep snow.  Differnet tactics for different critters I guess.
