Thinking about muledeer
« on: December 04, 2009, 05:13:00 PM »
I was just thinking how much I love to hunt mule deer. I took these pictures on a late season hunt a few weeks ago, it was a cow elk hunt that turned into a muley doe photo session.

Steadman I hope this will get you excited for tommorow if you make it out on the mountain. After looking at the picture, I wonder if deer blink when the flash goes off too? I also just paid for the Pronghorn and it should be here on Wednesday!    :)

I just had a rifle mule deer hunt and got a decent buck, but saw a really nice one (that I missed).  My mind is racing on how I would bowhunt those mule deer come next fall.  I think I'm addicted!

We have an extended season here in Utah that runs from mid august until nov 30th buck and until dec 15 for doe. I shot a buck in early september and now I find myself waiting for next year, and it seems so far away. I guess there are spring turkeys to get by until fall.

I have a bit of a mule deer obsession also.  Went for an early season bow hunt the last two years in wyoming for a couple weeks. Still havent shot one but im hooked.  Diy public land back country hunts are the highlight of mulie hunting, imho.

Haha! I was off. My dad and I go up to Randolph. To me though, most of northern Utah looks the same.   :knothead:

I just got in from hunting them today in our late season.  My tag is still unfilled.  

I love hunting them as well.  A tough critter to get with a stickbow if you ask me.

I've started to go after them more than I did in the past and really enjoy the rough country of MT and SD for chasing them.  Nw South Dakota really got clobbered by winter kill last year and I never saw a truly older deer this year, but next year I'm going back, even if the numbers are really down. I've slowly climbed in my success and have started to get fussy.
