NorthEastern UTAH Deer

I was wondering if anyone here has been doing any scouting in this area, maybe by fruitland and that general area, i am just wondering what it is going to look like this year for the rifle hunt :2 . I am living in Mnnesota until September so thats why im not out scouting my self right now. Also any tips on places to go, I like to hike and dont like to be with alot of people :>/ So any info is welcome thanks. P.S. This is a great site :thumb

I went out to cow hollow, which is down red river road just past fruitland. The place was actually on fire. I saw one buck with the smallest antlers I have ever seen. Really did not see anything that looked to hot. I am now going to go hunt out near hanna. There are a lot of hunters that will be out near strawberry, but there are also a ton of deer.

Strawberry area is getting WAY over hunted. Was up there yesterday fishing and could not see the forest for the bow hunters all crammed in there. Vernal/roosevelt area has had some NICE looking bucks as well as the scrub cedars in Duchene. Got off the track in Duchene and saw some REALLY nice bucks I plan on going back for.

I spend a fair amount of time in the NE region and have seen more deer and bigger bucks in the past few years than I have for quite some time.

I scouted for elk near hanna, Tabiona, can honestly say to hunt hard!!! I went for four consecutive weekends and seen very few deer, no big bucks, but on the positive side I seen the most on the very top near red creek, but I think they probably have some snow up there now, that always helps. Good luck.
