Hello,
I plan on going out while I'm home for break from school. I am just curious or what some tactics you guys ma have used in the past that have worked for late archery mule deer. I will be in unit 55 (Idaho). I am thinking about just getting to a peak and glassing into the Juniper trees and see if I can spot some moving/bedding down. I'm not sure if this is a good tactic as I've never really hunted rutting deer before. What I mean by that is I'm not sure if I should try and spot a bedded buck or if they'll just be cruising. I'm not too proud to shoot a doe in my mind the animal is filling the freezer and deserves more respect than just being a trophy and I think the memories will be the really trophy one day when I can't go out and hunt.
This is a repost I accidentally posted this in archery.
