Great morning behind the glass. Lots of does and fawns. A few bucks but nothing to go after. Snow is very loud . Hope it softens up this afternoon. Most of the deer are up high on the top 1/3 of the mountain .

15xs on a tripod have completely changed how both of us hunt and glass.

Good luck fellas!! I'd be scared if I was a mulie anywhere out there! Good call on the jammer, as I always find whiskey to provide a certain tang the next day...when all else fails there is the dog scooch
From: Ambush
29-Nov-18
Just turn the glove inside out first. Unless you’re a nail biter.
Or put it in a Ziploc and trade it out tonight after the drinking starts.
From: Brotsky

"Pro tip, don’t leave the truck without wet wipes or you may end up losing a glove."
Hunt, I think that's a rookie tip. A true pro tip is that your buddy may lose a glove! :)
From: t-roy
29-Nov-18
Wouldn’t the snow pack?! Keep your gloves on, and that way your fingers don’t get cold when using the snowballs.
Snowballs..........Takes off all of the new and part of the old!

The day started off snowy. 4-6 new snow but it wasn’t crunchy anymore and that was exciting!
From: HUNT MAN
30-Nov-18
We head into the glassing spot. But with the snow it was a scary climb to the normal spot.
From: TEmbry
30-Nov-18
Started the morning glassing session with a small cave fire and figuring out a game plan to deal with all the new snow.

We planned 3 hours to make it up to the deer. As we gain elevation we gain snow 8-10 now.

We head up to the deer . We drop our packs and make a plan. Trevor is going to the right. So I will head left.
From: HUNT MAN

The deer are in the trees at the top the draw!
From: HUNT MAN
02-Dec-18
The deer bump up the hill little ways. Fun to watch them. The big buck runs off and small buck that gets close. The snow is to the bellies of the fawns in the group .
From: HUNT MAN
02-Dec-18
The was no play to happen here now. 20 inches of snow and 26 deer. But what if I could get above them. So I head that way. The deer watch me head around the ridge. Back side is brutal with wind and snow. Little did i know the big buck and a doe fawn had pulled off !!
From: HUNT MAN
02-Dec-18
I get above the deer and can see them below me. But no buck. I back out and head up higher for another angle. Wind must have got me . I see the buck get up and head out of my life . It was a sight to see and made the trip .
From: HUNT MAN
02-Dec-18
We head down the mountain . The conditions in this part of the unit are brutal. We plan to head south. Nick shows up and we have a large time . Some more than others!
From: HUNT MAN
02-Dec-18
The next morning it is snowing hard. We try and glass but we can’t see 200 yards . We glassed the deer the day before at 2 miles. We hit the truck to see some new country!

Gotta maintain positivity in shitty conditions, even if it means faking it...
From: Treeline
02-Dec-18
Looks COLD!
Also looks like you don’t want to be the first one to pass out in that group!
It was -11 here this morning with wind. Late season is tough hunting! I was soaked in sweat by 10:00 though :-) Just got back to the house with a pile of meat!
From: Grunter
02-Dec-18
Been following. Man what a sight to see that buck. You guys hunt some nasty conditions. Good luck and and thanks for taking us along your adventure!
From: HUNT MAN

Hard to get close in this stuff! Hunt
From: TEmbry
02-Dec-18
Watch your six when you got a killer loose behind ya...
On a real note, that was a humbling hunt. Great time with great friends, but man those deep snow conditions are tough to get close in.
From: Treeline
02-Dec-18
Bowhunting in snow stinks!
Seems like it takes twice as much effort and makes ten times the noise! Also, snow and ice in your optics, arrow release, cams, string, nocks, etc. makes finding animals and getting a shot really tough! Especially for spot and stalk hunting!
You guys might try splitting up and looping around the deer out of sight and setting up on escape routes then have one guy try sneaking in on them. It can be a shit ton of work to get around the deer out of sight to set up but can be very effective.

From: TEmbry

I only had 3.5 days to hunt due to my work schedule in Alaska. To say I overextended with leave this year would be a massive understatement. This hunt was certainly more about hanging out w good friends again than it was a kill mission. Had fun and learned a lot yet.
The mule deer curse continues.
From: ELKMAN
04-Dec-18
Very cool. Good stuff
From: Treeline
04-Dec-18
Maybe you should try your Halloween camo trick, Trevor?
That seems to work on their northern cousins:-)
If you want a decent mule deer there are a lot of options that also do not require freezing your tail off in deep snow...
Might even be able to hunt in really nice weather and hunt 2 species if you play your cards right;-)
