Well, this goes to show how different hunting can be in different locations. In Colorado, *all* of my mule deer have been taken between 8000 and 9000 feet, as have all my elk. Both have been in thick timber near edges of clearings, food, or water. I always thought one hunted them the same ways, except for calling.
