Guys,
How often, if ever, do you find that muley bucks bed in the same place as doe's? I was hunting in Eastern WA this week. I was hunting off a ridge with several finger draws coming down to a 3/4 mile flat area with scrub and timber and some sage and then a canyoned creek bottom. I did not see a single antler, and I was set well before first light and left after dark. Visibility was pretty bad at the beginning and close of hunting hours so I couldn't see much anyway. I patterned the doe's though they bedded in the same dense brush in the bottom of one of the draws each day. I was hunting solo. I wondered what the likelihood is that the bucks were bunkered in there and the does joined them midday? Or is it more likely that they were somewhere up high still completely separate? I am wondering whether I should have given up my spotting location and gone down and beat the bush to flush em out.
Thanks for your thoughts!
