there are some few really big bucks many, 21-25 inch bucks and many, many,many lil dudes and does.by nov most of the deer are in or on their way to winter range, so you will most likely have better luck in the foothills

Thanks for the info!! Is it really packed with people in the foothills during the late archery? Or is there areas I would be able to get away by packing of a road even though it's foothills? I she been doing some research on google earth and looks like a lot of roads are closed which could be good?

you should be able to get away from people with minimal effort. especially if we get early snow to help close some roads

The crowds can be a joke but if you put in some leg work you can get into some nice bucks up around Arrow Rock. Either area your going to a ton of deer during that hunt. It's a good time. Enjoy
