Prospective Idaho Mule Deer Hunter (I'm sick of chasing whitetails with slugs in SW MN). Looking to make a drive west for rifle season. Open to controlled units as well as OTC.
Been doing a ton of research from IDFG harvest statistics, public land %s, and draw odds. Marking roads/trails in each unit's public land and reading topo's til my eyes cross.
I've picked out a few units that have caught my eye - would be curious if anyone else has any pointers for a first timer?
28, 36A/B, 51, 53, 71, 74, 76
Appreciate the help!
