goinhuntn Report post Posted May 30, 2012 What do you guys think about this unit? I have hunted elk in this unit , but never deer. I will be back in there this year for elk and thought maybe hunting deer during rifle season. Last year I hunted it during archery season, but it was mostly a scouting trip for my late elk hunt. I saw alot of elk, but not many deer of coarse at the time I was hunting elk so really wasn't looking for deer. I usually hunt 16a or 17b, but would like to change it up a little. I drew late rifle for elk and thought I could hunt deer and scout at the same time. Do the deer hang out in the pines or down in the junipers? Thanks in advance for any input Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jonscaife Report post Posted May 30, 2012 I like unit 8 alot for elk. Deer is a tough hunt in there. Mulies are really all over in there, both in the junipers and pines. Coues tend to be concentrated on the rim areas. Both are tough hunts. Lots of pressure during the mulie hunt. Not alot of coues and there in some nasty country. There are some big deer in there though, just have to work to find them. If you end up drawing either of these hunts, pm me and i will point you in the right direction.

missedagain Report post Posted May 30, 2012 Looks like an estimated 83% of hunters did not get a deer last year, the good news is that they are giving more tags this year! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
200"mulie Report post Posted May 30, 2012 I did see a lot of mule deer does in the pines last year didnt see a lot of bucks but then i wasnt walking the pines, i was driving to scout anelope near by. But i would put in if it was closerr to home, so i could scout more often Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
