BLM experiences?

[Wildgame]

Have you had any luck hunting local BLM? I have scouted many areas and most of them are in pretty rough terrain and water is rarely available.

The times that I have seen signs of deer indicate that it was a long time since any game traveled the area. Typically old deer dropping and faded deer prints.
The one good thing I noticed is not many people want to do the long hikes so you can tell not many people passed thru,

Sometimes, the terrain looks really good but no one is home.

If I was a deer I probably would not hang out there, there is just no water except after it rains and even then.

What's your take?

Lots of deer on BLM, just as many as on CNF.

Hunted BLM before and there was tons of sign but I'm guessing the deer are mostly active at night because as you mentioned the chunk of BLM I hunted was super dry and hot. Zero movement from anything out there during the day..been there early and stayed till dark and nada..

No deer on BLM

Pretty sure every d16 buck I’ve taken was on BLM…so most likely they are all gone by now.

Deer will travel long distances for water....BLM that has cattle or private within a mile or so will have deer....There's some pretty good BLM in the "16".

There’s some BLM land about 15 minutes from home that has deer, but I think it would be pretty hard to get one.

Not too far from San J

Around my tree stand

Who's up for a good ol' SCH deer drive on BLM??

 

[jlroberts100]

I hunted BLM on opening day this year. Had a doe at 35 yards. Walked up and stood for about 10 minutes and caught me drawing while she was walking away. It’s just dumb luck out there mostly. CNF , in the trees, has more opportunities.
