Late Season Mule Deer Hunt

[srupp]

Hmmm few places hold the numbers of deer as does the Fraser breaks...among those will be large bucks.this is THE wintering areas..ie Churn creek...deer coming in from 30..50 miles for secure food sources .flying over the area during the winter..and in early spring..literally 10,000 deer along the river.
It takes a lot more depth of snow to push the really large bucks into winter ranges..much less for does abd youngstets..
the biggest issue is access in..access out when it dumps snow..and snow drifts.
Caught back there at Black dome rd.tucked in behind the last grader out before spring.
Its geen much warmer last 20 years..however it can get brutally cold.
cheers

you will be disappointed in that area these days. it aint what it used to be.

It really does take lots of snow to bring big bucks down low and out into the open. Think belly deep or more.

More importantly, it takes lots of does in heat.

My best hunts have been at -20 or lower but.....................you had best be prepared and then some.
