Why the Jim Sage Range?

Are you going to do any scouting? I sure hope so.

 

[lvtoohnt]

i was told that was a good place to start,from your reply i am thinking not.

Forget about the Jim Sage very few deer in there until snow pushes them into there. Hunt the back side of the ski area I think it's mt independence. And I would hunt it opening day.

+1 on being there opening day! Drew the tag last year and didn't know the area either. Spent a lot of time scouting and didn't see too many others. Opening day was the opposite though. People everywhere but so were the deer! Find you a vantage point and you'll be amazed by the amount of nice deer people push around and never see.

thanks for the feedback, can't hunt opening, but have the last two weeks to hunt.

Helped a buddy get his deer last year towards the end of the season. Watch the weather if you camp up high. The snow can pile up fast that time of year!

That's to bad.
If you can't hunt the first week I would shoot the first 160 buck you see. If you can hunt the opener I would hold out for 180.

+1 on steering clear of Jim sage. You'll see very little in the month of October. I would go above city of rocks......
