I have read in hunting magazines and from (some) other hunters that when hunting for the really nice bucks, you need to go way up high...on the mountains, particularly when the hunting pressure gets somewhat heavy. Most hunters don't seem to want to go "this far in" to hunt deer. Here in NH, we have few farms/fields. Most of the hunting is in hardwoods and pines. The mountains in my area are about 2500 to 3000 feet in elevation. I have hunted about half-way up these mountains and seen some sign. I have never hunted way up on top where the trees grow to about 5 feet high because of the altitude. To get to these mountain tops, it takes about 1 to 2 hours...even longer if you do not want to break a sweat getting there. Anybody have good luck on the big hills?
