With the recent changes in the buck harvest rule the counties that the NF fall in are seeing more traditional trophy type bucks since at least the boom of the early/mid 80's and maybe even more.
The number of 150" deer are going up exponentially if that's your cup of tea.
One tip I would say is scout, look for areas that were burned this spring. They actually burned the snot out of some of the WMA's this spring unlike some of their past burns which were less than stellar. Scout those and check up on them again in late fall. Even by early November the deer will be hitting those hard if we get rain in August.
Skip opening weekend and you'll likely see nobody or at most 1-2 other trucks. I drive thru one of the NF and WMA's at least twice a week during season and see maybe 10 people a year if I avoid going on weekends.
