RE: trophy mule deer hunters - can you gie me any tips ?
Great advice so far. That early in the season the big boys will be bedded almost all day and in the most inconspicuos places. They usually won't move much in the day until the rut is on, and then will still be laying low for a part of the day. I have seen and killed some large mulie bucks that were laying in depressions as was spoken of. Where I hunt I look for the collechee(spelling) soil as the big bucks seem to be drawn to it so it narrows my search area down a bit. If you are looking for a great large mule deer and don't draw as you hope. I would look towards some of the later archery migration hunts that typically fall during the rut. The big boys are on the move big time then, and your chances of bagging a wall hanger are greatly increased. Good luck on your draw and have fun glassing for the big un.
