I've been hunting southern Idaho for 60 years. I've seen a lot of elk and a lot of mule deer but I've probably seen more really big bulls than I have seen really big muley bucks. I think those big bucks are smarter and hide much better than bulls. If a big buck on a ridge 1/2 mile away sees you, he's gone. They blend into the sagebrush so well that he can just vanish while you're watching him.
I totally agree with this. Those big mule deer are pretty awesome too. But I don't think nothing holds a candle to what the sheep hunters go through. A full curl ram would be the pinnacle of hunting in my opinion.
