Ruby Mountains Deer

[Hunt4more]

Son and I are heading into the Ruby’s towards the end of this week. Looks like they got some snow and I’m hoping to help him fill his tag. The temps look to be dropping into the teens and I’m wondering if this will help with the hunt. I know it’s still mid October and finding deer will be tough but hopeful less hunters on the mountain as the opening week has passed. Anyone just came out and want to share their experience?

I used to hunt them every few years, but the genetics just suck.

Understood. Just looking for a first mule deer buck for my 13 year old son. Here’s a blacktail he took last year.

Early rifle opening weekend has passed, but Sunday is opening weekend for the mid rifle season. See you out there and good luck!

Congratulations to you both, nice buck young man

Hunting is hard, especially in that vertical country. We seen a couple dozen bucks, that was the best. We stalked in 270 yards and he put it right in the pump house.

Damn, those rocks! I think I've been there before!

They suck but if your not looking for a min 180” buck, the archery hunt can turn up 24-26” 4x caliber deer and for a good percentage of hunters, that’s good enough. If a guy doesn’t have a ton of bonus points, you can go hunt fairly frequently.

Great spot for old troll 4x2’s if that’s your thing.

Congrats man that is awesome! Good thing you got out when you did. The storm Monday night into Tuesday morning was no fun.

Congrats to the young hunters!

Congrats on your sons first muley. The hunting in the Rubies is not what it used to be. You did good. Fatrooster.

I figured better not to be a hog and get slaughtered. He made the call and that was all I needed to hear.

I was up last week Tuesday afternoon to Thursday night. Was in both Cherry and walked a lot around Corral 3. Didn’t see anything. Hoping for better luck next week. This is first time hunting the Ruby’s. So everything I am doing is blind and by e-scouting with OnX. Hoping for the best.

Congratulations to your son on his first muley. That black tail was a stud!!! ??

 

[Outdoordan]

Good job you two! Way to get it done! Beauty of a buck.
