Hey Guys,
New to the Saddle Hunting website. I hunt out of a Lone Wolf Climber, however, I'm obsessed with deer hunting strategy and tactics so I figured I'd start a few conversations with some of the great hunters on this site.
Mountain hunting has always intrigued me. We're not talking about mountains out west, but sizable elevation in the Northeast. I believe the best (most uninterrupted) public land hunting can be found in the NE US mountains. With that being said, it is a DIFFICULT hunt. Hiking miles in to get back to a mountaintop swamp, crossing streams to climb 100s of feet of elevation, scouting for weeks to find the right area... my question pertains to whether it's worth it? Do mature whitetails live in these locations? Do they have the nutrition required to grow large racks? Do they wander too much to hunt effectively? I am going to try either way, however, I would like to see what other hunter's have experienced hunting this type of terrain. If so, what is your favorite strategy?
Thanks,
Vic
