Hunting mulies from the river.

[Bushleague]

I drew a high priority mule deer tag this year, and plan on doing a canoe hunt in late October. While I have done plenty of river hunts I have never hunted mulies from the river and never done a river hunt so late in the season, so I'm not sure what to expect in the way of behavior.

I know how to hunt the habitat and topography around the rivers, but beyond that I'm thinking by that areas where agricultural fields butt up against the river valley would be my best bet by late October. My strategy will to be get up on the side of the river valley and glass, hoping I will have some snow on the ground to help with glassing as well as give me some tracks to work with.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
