Guys, I sure would appreciate some advice regarding hunting muleys during archery season. For the past couple decades, I've been solely a rifle hunter...but with some coercion from my brother, I went out and bought a bow and will be joining him in Colorado this year for my first archery hunt.
With that said, what adjustments should I make when transitioning from rifle to bow? I have to get a helluva lot closer now; I'm used to spotting and stalking in the Rockies. Is it worthwhile to plant your ass in a quakie patch and see what happens? Or look for beaten trails and camp out? Perhaps there are some other techniques you recommend? Season is in September but the rut is late November into December, according to F&G, so calling is out the window, yes?
Any advice, tips or tricks would be most appreciated. Thanks much!
