Couldn’t hunt Savona this year( fire closure) so headed for Little Fort..lot of grouse at higher elevations but few deer( they had migrated down to lower areas ) But once we stuck to the lower levels,we saw lots of mule deer( does) ,shot one nice buck( no swollen neck and not stinky ) .Probably a bit early,the does should have had a buck close behind, but I’m thinking the last weekend in October ( before the 4 point rule comes in) might see more bucks moving.
Pretty busy roads with pipeline work .We brought my hunting trailer ,but getting a motel for a couple of days might be a good option..any recommendations?
