[QUOTE="AT Hiker, post: 5797002, member: 10019"] Couple things and don’t take offense here. I’m just being honest and I want to give you a perspective on the state of mule deer. Doe mule deer; I don’t think a high country unit exist where anyone should kill a doe. Deer numbers are down and everything needs to be done to protect the females. End of debate. Mule deer taste; they really aren’t that good of table fare. Take a fly rod and go on an adventure in late August. Use that time to scout out an area to draw a tag in the future. Archery hunting in most any state can happen in 1-3 years. Use that 1-3 years to narrow down your gear and get a feel of how brutal some of these hunts can be. Brutal as in physical suck, mental suck, sucky roads, pressure, etc. Cow elk; I think this is your best bet if you don’t care about antlers and just want to hunt. They taste delicious and the tags are more attainable. Most hard to draw units for a bull have cow tags that can be drawn a lot easier. You can make it a backpack hunt or a mobile truck hunt. Which you almost certainly have to make a mobile truck hunt plan B. Pick a state and research it on the game a fish site. Once you narrow down unit/area then do a deep dive. Just remember secrets don’t exist anymore. Online material via chat forums are old news but will give an idea of the units popularity. [/QUOTE]
