Wake up really early on opening day.
O'dark thirty, Then go to some high elevation mountain.
Follow the headlights to the top.
2) more work.....
Buy 30 trail cams,200 battery,and 30 SD cards.
Put cams out in random spots and pray.
3) most work....
All summer spend your week days on ONX,then spend every weekend boots on the ground glassing, learning the lay of the land.
See them on the hoof before season,which is as good as it gets.
4) All of the above......
Plus some cell trail cams.
You'll find some in no time.
Ohh ya almost forgot....
Beg Karl to point you in the right direction.
If Karl points you in the right direction,PM ME let me know cause I need help too......lol..... 😂

Many on this site don't know my name is Mike.

We always called those black jacks (21). Mule deer are simply where you find em. Hunted them for years in Utah and while many did migrate to the high country there were always those that stayed put down lower. Some of the best mule deer hunting in this state (as well as other states) is down in the lower sage brush country. You have to get out and scout various areas and don't think for a second that all the big bucks automatically live in the high country.

“A forky by spike” lol!!We called them blackjacks too back in the day👍 I agree a little about big bucks hanging in sage brush in this state but imo some of them(not all) will do that a bit during the rut or if they are pushed by weather. There’s more big bucks that will die of old age that hang in some pretty thick and knarly timber, only to cross patches of sage to get from point A to point B, point B being even more thick and knarly crap. If there’s timber(thicker the better) available that’s where they’ll hang. Now if your in a unit that’s nothing but sage, it’s another story obviously.
