Eastern "BIG Mountain" BUCK Technique
« on: September 24, 2008, 03:40:39 PM »
Hey Guys, Just curious, what are your "BIG MTN" techniques for the elusive whitetails?  I hunt the NF a lot and there are some nice bucks out there.  There are thousands of acres available but very few people hunt it. 

Thanks

Everyone has a technique that woks for them, but my favorite is still hunting combined with spot and stalk.
I would stay high, but don't let your silhouette show. And of course try to keep the wind in your favor. Concentrate on saddles and other low spots where deer will tend to cross. And keep a eye on the valley swamps. Hope this helps!

With snow on the ground, tracking.  No snow, still hunt/take a stand.  Give me snow any day though.  Nothing like tracking a big buck for 8-10 hours to truly learn what deer do.
