I'm sure that somewhere in this thread it's been mentioned that you need to get away from other hunters.

Years ago a young guy in our church hiked 7 miles into some high mountain lakes where there was rumored to be a good herd. He found them and got a great bull. It took him a few days to pack it out as it was a really rugged trail. I've looked at the lakes on a map and it's a long hard steep hike in.
A few days after he got home, he got a call from the Idaho Fish & Game. They'd spotted him packing out the antlers from a helicopter and had a game warden on the ground go to the trailhead to try to get his pickup license #. They told him that they'd been watching that herd for several years and called him to congratulated him on a nice bull...and to tell him that in those years he was the 1st hunter with the 'nads to go in and get one.
