Been hunting this area now that I live here. I haven’t really seen all that many deer. I’ve mostly been between 1800-2000m for elevation. Walking high ridges and glassing hill sides. Some areas have more sign then others, but I’ve only seen a couple does. I think these warm afternoons have them bedded more during the day.
I’m wondering where others are finding the deer are? Mainly elevation and habitat. I tend to stick closer to the sparwood area as i hate driving to long in the morning before hiking in the dark.
i get the feeling the bucks are in small pockets in big country. Or in town.
on the plus side, a couple cow elk crossed the road in front of me yesterday. I followed where they went in to the thick stuff. After abit I found a small herd, couldn’t see a legal bull though, just a younger 4 point who stayed back hiding in some bushes.
