Hey everyone ill be makin my first trip to utah the coming season to hunt mule deer and was wondering if anyone has hunted the Manti La Sal National Forest near Monticello. I was wondering if this area was a good place to start? Any information will be helpful!

Haven't hunted that area myself, but know there is some good hunting in and around Monticello. Hope you enjoy your stay and trip to Utah and are successful.

Here is a buck taken in Monticello a few years back...

Yep sure have, hunted it just last fall.
You can kill a small buck every time you leave camp and LOT'S of people!!! We hunted high and even low down in the desert areas. It seemed that most of the deer were about mid range in between.

We will be hunting with a bow during the first week of the season. Did you have any success bowhunting that area? We are not looking for monsters just looking for some good numbers of deer. Also are there alot of people in that area during bow season or mostly just rifle season?
