Blues muley permits?

[njc89]

The biologist (now retired I think) that worked to get the hunt set up in the first place says there are not many deer in there at all any more.  But, he said there are some very nice bucks.  He was going to apply for it himself.  Very tough hunt, but should be rewarding.

When I applied for this unit I knew there were low deer densities.  I just hope there are 5 big boys left in there, one for each of us tag holders.

I'm sure that whoever was fortunate enough to draw any of them permits this year will have their work cut out for them and hopefully are nicely rewarded for it. It will be very nice for them if they end up with a packout like I had last year.

I'm pretty much hit or miss on these forums, but I drew the LickCreek quality tag.  I'll be looking for a wall-hanger, as they don't smell or taste great that late in the year!

I have never seen a good muley buck in the Watershed.  Of course, I have never actually been INTO the WS, but I have glassed into it from the edges a lot.  Not saying they're not in there, just that I have never seen one...

Deer hunting in the watershed is going to be tough imo.  I was in there for elk in 07 and scouted several trips and hunted down into the center every day.  We also drew elk tags this yr and have been there twice this year and planning to head up again tomorrow.  In total I have seen 2 bucks in the shed, both were decent, only one was worth real attention.  I did see him a few times earlier this month...  would trade a little info  for some elk info from the deer hunters...

My dad told me they saw a decent buck in there last month when they went to scout it. Get one I will be up there Saturday also!

Saw a few elk, a bear and a goat. Not much activity up there I think because of the overcast/rain we got. Heard a few bulls bugles, it seemed pretty dead this year. I hope it starts to get more active.

That's about the understament of the year.  Quiet, quiet, quiet...  The rain and cool weather helped a little this weekend, but they were still pretty quiet.  We couldn't buy a sound on Saturday night.

My pops drew the watershed elk tag a couple times in the late eighties early nineties and said he saw two of the biggest mulie bucks he has ever seen in his life, and trust me we have seen some huge deer. But *censored* that was back in the day. Who knows lmao
