I have the sme tag and hunted there in 2002. I won't be able to get out scouting until after my Bro-in-law's antelope hunt ends (Sep.29 I think.) Shoot me an email. I'd be happy to share info with you. Soazhunter(removemefirst)@aol.com JJ

I drew 24b Dec whitetail and 23 turkey. No elk, sheep or antelope. My brother-in-law (the dirty dog!) drew the same deer hunt as I, AND a unit 22 late rifle bull elk hunt, AND a 3b north antelope tag.... Bitter?!?! you bet I am! This is only the econd year he's ever put in for big game hunts. Seriously, though, I'm excited for him and can't wait to accompany him on these hunts!

I like to hunt different units, in fact over the last seven years, I hunted in six different units. (I don't know... must be my severe Attention Deficit Disorder!) Once the draw is complete and I know which unit I'm hunting.. (mid July), I'll do a couple of "camping" trips in that unit over the summer. My wife enjoys camping, so its funny how our camping trips always end up somewhere in my deer unit for the fall! As the season draws near I'll try to get out at least three or four additional weekends and have at least 3 different "spots" picked out in the unit. Another thing I do is go out during the Oct season (if I have a Nov. or Dec. tag). Not to hike and glass so much as to check out the deer camps and BS with other deer hunters. I've picked up a lot of valuable iunformation this way.

You might want to check out Redfield Canyon. Every time I've been there, I've seen bucks. I don't think it gets near as much pressure as other parts of the unit. I drew the same tag and will be checking out a few spots this weekend.
