    I will be scouting one specific area this year that I know holds deer. Weekend high alpine camp in July, put up a camera and go in again mid August. Then you know what to expect.
    Google Earth is your friend for targeting general areas.
    I had a great time goat hunting least year in early September, again, very high alpine in great weather with stunning views.
    Alpine hunting is very hard but very rewarding in many aspects.
    Hard access doesn't mean more deer or better deer. I've busted my ass Into some remote spots that have no quad truck bicycle access at all and been sorely disappointed with the number of deer around.

    Edit: generally you are correct just not always the case. How was your goat hunt? Were you successful? which region? Leh or gos?

    I hear ya.some People always think that the deer are always where no one wants to go. There are many good spots that have quick easy access. I too have learnt the hard way of thinking just because a spot looks really great and is really remote that it must be good.

    Upwards of 250 people a day including small childern hike to where Widebugger used to call home. Funny how some of the easiest access can produce some of the biggest bucks.

    Bucks stand still a lot, peer out of little groves of deciduous -- still is the word -- look for movement.
    Jel -- bucks peer and peek from behind cover --

Or i would coyote out with a light tarp and sleeping bag so I could maximize the glassing time and get both evening and next morning scouting done in a short trip. Bigger trips I would leave on Friday after work, sleep in the truck and be hiking in the dark to be glassing at daylight. Glass and hike all day Sat and sleep up top and glass the morning on Sunday and hike out and head home. I did these adventures weekend after weekend all summer long. Some weekends you would see a bunch of deer, other weekends you'd strike out.
