[QUOTE="Grnwing, post: 5695500, member: 14910"] I have hunted that area for mule deer. I did a lot of research and reached out to the park service and asked a lot of questions.. Deer density is not high in that part of the state, during my hunts is was averaging one per 10 square miles. That being said, I saw deer everyday and had deer within bow range everyday. Those samdhills will hide deer very well. What worked for me was glassing. Got out 2 hrs before sunrise to get to my glassing spots and just kept looking. There is a lot of yucca plans that hide a bedded deer very well. Infact majority of the deer were bedded in between plants making them invisible. I was looking for ear twitches and antler tips. Once I located a deer the fun began on stalking and getting into position. The way they bed in and against the yucca can make it extremely difficult as they seem to bed on the down hill side of the plant which blocks your line of sight from aboveI. I had a blast and loved the challlenge of getting close to those deer. I would strongly recommend making phone calls to figure out grazing rotations and road conditions. I would hunt all day and not just go hunt the mornings or evenings, so I brought lots of water to stay hydrated and spend as much time glassing. Some of those roads are pure sand and I wouldnt want to get stuck on one and spend time messing around with the truck when you ahould.be hunting. There are some "wooded" areas but I did not spend anytime in them. Take a good compass and map, cell service was pretty bad with verizon. You will have a great time and its a haven for grouse. I saw so many while glassing. I would expect you should finish out grouse limits pretty quick. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
