[QUOTE="dfanonymous, post: 1549448, member: 97050"] Look for water sources. Look for food sources in the area of a water source within a 2 mile area. Burn areas are great. Get use to walking. Get use to walking up hills or into mountains. Get up high glass low. Morning and evenings are the best time usually, BUT...anytime is possible depending how hard you hunt. Get quality glass. it helps a lot looking into the shadows in cover. Get ready to hike out with a lot of weight if you make a kill. It doesn't hurt to try calls and rattles...but they've never worked for me. My archery season is in the summer and the rifle before November so...no rut. Scents wont work. To hot, and sweat to much. A good set of hiking foot wear, a good bag and quality optics are pretty much where money should be dumped. In the fall mule deer buck kind of split away from there bachelor groups and become hard to find. A lot of the big dudes are almost strictly nocturnal if you are on public land, also depending on region. E-scouting helps, and on foot scouting really, really help. [/QUOTE]
