[QUOTE="Greg Duerr, post: 850759, member: 32685"] Trophy Mule Deer, Im sorry to say dont play by our rules. Some really nice bucks hang close to the Juniper's and wont give you a long calculated shot on your terms. Sometimes they dont exit the junipers or the mahoganys until right at night. In the Juniper sage country I hunt I have seen severl trophy class bucks that only hung right at the tree line and most often you got a window of opportunity of less than 30 seconds. Im a hunter first not a sniper sitting in a ridge waiting for a buck on my terms. You play by their rules and that often means sitting with your back next to a rock watching a bowl where a long shot is 250 yards. I wont limit my possibilities by setting myself up for dissapointment. If long range shots are your thing then by all means stick to Antelope. Have you ever hunted a huge Aspen bowl, ...........................A good friend of mine shot a state record Mule Deer becuase he waited and watched an openning in the Aspens, his shot was at 75 yards Kind of like Skeet shooting If he had only limited himself to 600+ shots he would have an empty place on his wall Think out of the Box [/QUOTE]
