[QUOTE="MuleHunter, post: 675967, member: 14190"] I liked the article. Hunting high country mulies is a passion of mine as well. A few things I have learned... Buy really good glass, the ability to spot bucks hanging out in the shadows is greatly increased with nice binoculars. Be patient, spend most of the morning and evening glassing, its boring but pays off. Change vantage points every hour our two, there are lots of draws bucks can use to stay out of sight. If you can't spot bucks by the late morning try pushing them around by having a buddy hike through their feeding grounds, sometimes you can catch them on their escape routes this way. It seems mulie bucks feel pretty comfortable at about 300 yds and out, I have seen them bedded and stand up after the intruder puts some distance between them. I find that the best way to get in shape for the high country is to spend July and August scouting and bear hunting, I have not found any exercises that come close enough to mimic the strain of having 60 lbs on my back for 5 miles our coming out with 120 lbs. The first hike of the season is brutal but by the third scouting/hiking trip my muscles fall right in line and I feel like I can go forever. [/QUOTE]
