They are there because the deer are there

Did see wolf tracks up on buck mountain, along with 4 big does with fawns. If you stay on the left side of the river there was plenty of spots to setup camp. I had a nice camp setup by 8 mile,just not a lot of deer, drove the up and around the pass by Tiffany Springs and back down to conconully, turn right at the state park and you can loop back to Winthrop.

we went up loop loop last year, saw 3 deer, 1 was a small buck I believe, ran into timber before we could make out what it really was and we lost it

I hunted the lower portion of pearygin with two doe taggs last year got one saw six deer on legal ground woyldnt waste my time.

My suggestion is get a couple quality maps, hit the areas already suggested, and start branching out from there. :twocents:

I would echo what another said, get some maps, an try an get off the roads as much as possible. That area is a migration route: lots of deer = lots of orange (particularly road hunters) There are some cool spots, just be prepared to drive way back in there, then hoof it from there. A buddy took me out there last year and we all had a great time. Good luck.

Post by: Hermit on September 10, 2013, 07:32:25 PM: I wasn't being a smarta**. I really did see a lot of deer where I said. Big, fat grainfed mulie's. One would have to scout around a little but the areas got a lot of accessible land. Heck, I'd hunt it if I could walk.
