So I have been going up on the weekends to D14 and have not seems deer. I have run across deer scat and bear scat. Last week I found a place just covered with thorns and thicket. I noticed Nat flies hovering over some areas and not others. It looked like good bedding area. I also noticed the nats kind of followed me around so I figured something was in the thicket. I went back again this past weekend and found one pretty good size track track on this flat patch of mossy mud which I had checked the prior week and was undisturbed. This is my first year hunting and would like some advice as far as how to approach the area. I have been up yo about 7200 ft but it seems to be more sign near 6400. Thanks for any advice. I am rifle hunting.

You have a bear tag right?
Not familiar with the area but at least you know there are animals there...

I do have a bear tag. Matter of fact there is a bear there that I think is enjoying staying ahead of me. Seems like he likes to travel washes and hides in the thicket. Last week I lost track of him only to have two hunters tell me I got too high and was about 50 yards below me. They were glassing from across the valley and away out little cat and mouse game.

Your photos look steep and deep. try to find vantage points and places where you can observe and plan a stalk. bumping along in hopes of getting a shot is very challenging
