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.
