Deer Hunting-Q&A
Q. I will be hunting for mulies in north central New Mexico
the first of November. It is a mountainous area. Do you think
the deer will be at the higher elevations? What do you think
is the best way to hunt them this time of year? A. Brian, first you need to get a starting point from someone who has hunted your area, and hopefully someone who has had good success harvesting great bucks from that area. Then go scouting as much as possible. I can't emphasize strongly enough the importance of scouting. There is no substitute for scouting! Once you have spent a day or two scouting you will quickly know if the deer are high or low. Key on water this year more than ever. The best way to hunt areas that are new to you is the spot and stalk method. Q. What is the best county in Utah to hunt for trophy bucks? A. Justin, Kane County has been the top producer for trophy bucks. More B&C bucks have been entered from Kane County in the last 10 years than any other county in Utah. Most have been harvested from the Paunsaugunt, but a few have come from the southern region unit around the Paunsaugunt. Utah has several good limited entry units. The Book Cliffs, Henry Mountains, and Vernon units are getting better every year. Q. I planning my first mule deer/elk hunt and I would appreciate any advice you can offer. I currently hunt whitetail deer in Pennsylvania a with a Remington 788 in .308 caliber. What are your thoughts on using this rifle? A. Timothy, the .308 is a very popular caliber with a lot of western mule deer hunters. The .308 comes very near being the twin, ballistically, of the 30.06. The 30.06 does have some advantages in the heavier bullet weights, but if you keep your shots to reasonable ranges, I would go with what you are familiar with. I have had good success using 165 or 180-grain bullets Giving Back to Those Who Have Given - Camp PatriotOUTDOORSMAN is proud to be working with Camp Patriot this week to film some of Americas true wounded hero's as they hunt for elk in Southeastern Idaho.
