I've hunted off the PCT plenty of times in WA State. I was worried about the same thing as you, but in my experience we still saw plenty of deer/elk/bears right off the trail. I also noticed how many deer/elk tracks were always walking right down the trail.. Like others have said, we used the...
Good luck man. Looking forward to the review. I had an MSR Zoid 1 and it was bomb proof, but just a bit small to feel comfortable. For just a bit more weight the BA fits the bill. Curious to hear what you think about the space of a 1man after being out for a bit.
I use a BA Copper Spur UL 2 and love it. Plenty of room for one guy and all your gear. There's also 2 pretty good sized vestibules just in case you packed extra heavy. Super light weight and packs pretty small. I feel like I need a tent Vs a tart or tipi even, because where Im usually hunting...
I've used an MSR whisperlight for years now, but I usually just boil water with it. I like it and have never had any issues with it. Reading about the jetboils, I may have to get one. I just never liked the disposable canisters issue. Just another thing to have to pack out as trash.

What's your top 3 bits of advice to a new Mule...
Yeah, I was going to try and hunt both August and then again late December and hopefully again in January ( although i know Id need a new tag come Jan 1st.
Hey guys,
Just curious if anyone hunts the AZ OTC archery mule deer season? I just recently moved down South from WA state and will be trying my luck for the first time in the open desert for a mule deer. I'm used to hunting Blacktails in the jungle where one can only see maybe 50 yards...
Hey there,
Just as a little side note, I use Tripadvisor all the time to look up places or attractions when I travel overseas. They have tons of reviews from people whom have just visited. Love that site. You can usually even look at towns and see if there are those places you want to avoid...
