2B Archery Deer

We drew 2B Archery (January Hunt)! We will be heading down from Utah to make and attempt at those monster bucks. I have heard that the weather will be cold and that we will see a lot of big bucks, but getting close will be the real test. Anyone that has hunted the unit, especially with a bow, let us know how it was, and what to expect.

I've bowhunted it several times......I'm not sure you'll see a lot of "Big" bucks.....but you'll defintiely see quite a few bucks in the 150-160 range........with a few in the 170-185 range. If you're lucky you may see a great buck above that, but they are rare nowadays there.

Good cold weather gear, snow chains, mud tires, quality wall tent with wood stove and good food will keep you out in the field and near the deer so you can enjoy your hunt.

congradulations on the tag. I hunted there in Jan 2008 and had a good hunt. I'd get away from the roads, seems most guys drive the roads and wait for one to get close. Constant traffic. I did get drawn for the 2B muzzle loader hunt his year, buts its a lot different hunt. I've got some video of some giants we saw if I can figure out how, I'll post some.

gcox98, thanks for the reply! Ya I would love to see some video of bucks from your last hunt on 2B. I'll bet if we twist a few arms, there are even a few other guys that might be interested.

Dan:

I took one buck the four times I hunted it.......actually settled for it the last day. However, I was hunting big bucks and passed several in the mid-170 range, as I was seeing some giants. When the snow came and got crusty, my stalking ability was abolished. I got lucky with the one we took. He was a 28' 4x4 that grossed 170" and netted in the 160's.
