Hunting Mule Deer – Tip #5

January 4, 2012 by Jack

MOUNTAIN MULEYS AREN’T ALWAYS ABOVE TIMBERLINE – Actually, some of the biggest mountain mule deer bucks behave much like elk. They may feed in clearings and open hillsides at dawn and dusk, but retreat to heavy timber during the day. If you’re not finding deer in the open at high elevation, forsake the parks and peaks and try stillhunting the pines or work with a partner to flush bucks from cover.

    You are right about seeing a lot of big bucks, but kwoning if they are big enough is tough no matter how many you’ve seen. Our group has a 160 inch minimum and this deer is rare even here where we are the only hunters ever and the land is so large. For me I’d vote for shooting a buck that excites you and the hell with the number of inches of antler it holds, but my Texas friends don’t see it that way.
