Beaver unit Deer

[Jq23]

After hunting archery on this unit for the past few years I decided to change it up and put in for rifle and I drew the tag. I usually hunt up by Big Johns Flat for archery and I'm wondering if that would be a good place to go for the rifle hunt? Or will the deer be moving down towards their winter range by then? Do the deer up there migrate towards Beaver or down towards Marysvale?

I've also heard that the mineral mountains out on the west side can be good, I have never been out there and just wondering if it would be worth going out there? Any info would be great,

Thanks

I hunted the south end of that unit last year. The deer were towards the top 1/3 of the mountain. Lots of deer, mostly does and two points. Saw a couple decent bucks. Large numbers of hunters like most public units. Hunt during the week if possible and get as far away from the crowds as possible. There are some decent deer in the unit.

Thanks for the info.

Has anyone hunted around the twitchell fire area?

Anyone else have any information they would be willing to share. Pm if you want.

Thanks.
