Hello everyone. Looks like I am going to go to MU 5-3 for my first solo mule deer hunt, in the gang ranch/churn creek area.
I will be hunting solo, looking for a good place to make camp and be able to do some hunting on foot, learn about some access roads, or other advice people may have about looking for 4pt bucks in this area.
I have the iHunter app, and from what I've researched you are able to hunt within Churn Creek area. Gang ranch is private land and from what I've read there is good signage on where you aren't allowed to go or hunt/shoot.
My current "plan" is to get there, get outside the ranch boundary, and just try to find areas to walk and glass from there.
Aside from that, do you have any advice for me in terms of where to go/start? Feel free to send a pm or I'm open to having a quick chat on the phone. Some basic guidance would help me feel more confident heading up to this area on my own!
PS. I will have chains, shovel, saw, cold weather gear, emergency beacon/sat phone, etc
