Over the last 20 odd years we have been searching out areas for Muley's near our cabin. As I was in school, then university and now working I've never had as much time as I would like to got hunting. As such we would normally go for any buck. We found a spot that we think is pretty good and we got 6 bucks in 3 years including a nice 3x3. However the last couple years I've had more vacation time and we decided to hunt 4 pt season, as its both of our goal to get a nice 4x4 muley.
Last year we spent somewhere between 15 and 20 days in mid November through December 10th. We would see what we think is a decent amount of deer, 40 a day in Mid-November and over 100 a day in Late November/Early December, with a good mix of bucks in there. Probably 1 buck for every 8 or so does. Lots of rubs as well.
We have seen some massive 3pts, I've got a picture of 2 large 3x3's hanging out together and dozens of other nice 3pts. I saw a group of 13 bucks last year. But we have never seen a 4 pt. (apart from 2 we have seen other people had shot in the general area, not our exact spot).
This year we decided to try a little earlier to see if that made a difference. In 5 days we have seen 4 different 3pts and lots of spikes and 2pts, but still no 4pt.
Are we just having bad luck in this area or should we be looking for a new spot to go for 4pt season next year?
