Default Mule deer in 404

Thinking about putting in for antlered mule deer in 404. I don't care about taking a "monster buck" I just want the high country experience.

Anyone have any input for me?

Thanks

Max

Hunted 404 last two seasons and no mule deer period.
But it’s super nice country.

Its a shame but the once plentiful Mule deer are now history.

Hmmmm, guess I'm back to the drawing board. Thanks for the replies.

I was pretty pumped to hunt there because rifle starts Sept 17 and yeah, it's beautiful country

412 went on draw a couple years ago for mule deer. Used to get pounded when General tags were offered, but it does hold Alpine MD.....

406 might be a better choice.

We spent 4 full days on horses and covered a fair bit of country last fall scouting for elk and mulies. All I heard was crickets and all I saw was great scenery. Not a single animal. Weird.

Had a trail cam in the part north of Indian graves and got some muley bucks on it. That’s more foothills country than high country though , but still real pretty in there
