Kelly Hicks’ Backyard Mule Deer Buck

During the general rifle season, the mountains near my home are full of red and orange, with hunters standing on about every ridge. My neighbor Rush had wanted me to guide him on a mule deer hunt, so I told him to be at my house before daylight, and we’d go to a public-hunting area. I was confident he could take an animal there. The next morning, we arrived at the top of the mountain,

How Kelly Hicks Hunts Mule Deer and Elk and Guides Other Hunters

Kelly Hicks of Bountiful, Utah, is a hunter of opportunity. Each season he buys mule deer tags and elk tags. Then when he has the opportunity to take either a nice mule deer buck or a nice bull elk, he’ll be able to harvest these animals, because he finds both species in the same places.

Gather Information Yearly to Increase Odds for Taking an Elk

Dave researched Colorado’s Parks and Wildlife information to see what he could learn about elk hunting, where he could hunt on public lands, and where his chances were best to successfully take an elk. He also wanted to know how many preference points a person had to have to hunt the better units with the most elk in them with either a gun, a bow or a blackpowder rifle. In his spare time, he dug

Colorado’s Mike Miller and the 300-Yard Bull Elk

This hunt took place on the opening day of elk rifle season one year. My hunter and I drove up to a place that I liked to glass from because I could see almost the entire mountain range. I didn’t like to go to this spot before daylight, since I believed the headlights on my truck would spook the elk. Once we had some natural light, I took my spotting scope and binoculars there and
