Description

This hunt is 5 day fully guided hunt located on the Wasatch Mountains East Deer Unit, within the confines of the U.S. Forest Service. This unit has good public access, good numbers of mule deer and moderate terrain offering hunters an enjoyable hunt for a mature mule deer buck. Mule deer hunting in the Wasatch Mountains is one of the classic Western big-game experiences—steep terrain, big views, and a real test of patience and endurance. Covering roughly 1128 square miles and 53% public land, this hunt offers a variety of terrain spanning elevations of 5,500 feet to 10,000 feet. Get used to climbing and descending steep terrain, crossing creeks and rocky scree areas. This hunt will bring you through and across rugged rocky terrain, timbered ridges, and alpine basins where green and lush grasses grow. This is a general season hunt, so hunters can expect to see other hunters on the roads, but not as many in the high mountain meadows where we focus on the mature deer that graze between aspen groves and pine forests. Expert guides will bring you into the backyard of these bucks and put you into a great shooting position to take home your trophy.

Description

Gear is typical for any western big game hunt. Mostly, glassing can be coldest as one is sitting still and feeling every gust of wind. Multiple Technical layered clothing is best for glassing up shooter bucks. Careful glassing reveals the mature bucks that the outfitter is looking to harvest. This can take quite a while. Maybe an insulated butt pad would be good to sit on. With multiple techniques utilized, glassing and spot and stalk is the mainstay of the outfitters typical hunting method. When on the move maybe drop one layer of insulation as you'll be perspiring after that buck. Don't forget that pesky short rainshower on the way to a good shooting position. These all have happened on hunts before. Coming prepared for all types of weather, with multiple layers, can and will make the difference between making that shot and bringing home the trophy, or missing and bringing home nothing, and this choice is yours.
