[QUOTE="MidTennFisher, post: 5791601, member: 11842"] I've considered going there in May to chase turkeys in those mountains. I'm sure I'll bump deer and elk while doing so, and it'll give me a good gauge on the public land pressure. Western states continue to see an increase in hunting pressure but many people tell me the majority of the hunters don't venture far from a hiking trail. As for the mule deer thing, is my scenario feasible of driving out there to set up my tent along one of those forest service roads and plan to spend sunrise to sunset wandering around the public, high draw odds, woods in search of a doe? Just to really get a feel for whether I'd enjoy it as much as I think I would. And that is not limited to killing a deer, mostly enjoying some peace and not running into hunters everywhere I walk when I'm well away from the trails. I can deal with the aggravation of too many hunters right here in South Carolina lol. Backpacking several miles in for a week likely increases my odds but just isn't something I'd do alone. [/QUOTE]
