As a guy who is addicted to chasing mule deer from a state that doesn't have any, I think those are some great pictures. I wouldn't hesitate on that deer if I was to run across him in the hunting fields.

I hope I live long enough to get out there and shoot some of that stuff you guys got out there. Love to get a muley and an elk before I cash in.

Danny,
Nice Buck. I drew a Antlered Mule deer tag last year but, did not fill it. I had a great three day hunt looking for one though, and passed several, thinking I would get back out. It was not to be!

I grabbed a undersubscribed tag for this year northwest of Manning AB. Looking forward to hunting a new to me part of the country.

Your picture got me excited and spooled up to get out after em! Thanks.

Nice, I'd love to tag a mulie someday

Nice buck!

We have mulies down here in Sou Cal, but they are "Desert Mule Deer" and kinda scrawny compared to the ones I got used to when I lived in Idaho. They really look more like Columbian Blacktails, and act like them, too. Sneakier than northern mulies.

Wildlife biologists say that Blacktails are the ancestors of both Mule Deer and Whitetails; I guess that means all North American deer except moose and elk.

Scanned from photo taken recently in an undisclosed place in Colorado .



Check out the sway back and big belly on the one on the left. Do you like them tall or wide?

[BigSky56]

CRS I like a balanced mulie rack and a wide rack on wt, that hay belly on that mulie is from somebodies alfalfa field Ive got 2 huge wt and 1 soso big wt in a hay field that Iam trying to get a pic of. when they are that big they get nocturnal the other night I counted 65 head of does,fawns & small bucks in the alfalfa and those 3 big boys were back in the timber waiting for dusk. The mulies around here taste bad cause of the forage so I prefer wt for table fare. My neighbor has a 27" wt on his cabin wall and missed a 30" behind our places I rode up to him after the crack of his 95 a northerner was blowing snow so bad he didnt see a 4" blowdown limb between him and that bucks brisket hes been after that ole boy since.
Mike A Ive hunted those mulies in the immigrant wilderness north of Yosemite and along the sierra crest to the border they are sneakier than a rocky mtn md. danny

Bigsky, that is SOME RUGGED terrain you were hunting in! Often wondered what buck fever and altitude sickness felt like; hope I'm too old to ever find out now, though.

I hunted mulies in the Snake River breaks in Idaho and Eastern Washington when I lived out there in the '70s and '80s, mostly for meat. Biggest deer I got was with a handgun while bird hunting on the Palouse River in WA; he just got unlucky. 11 points in all; a hybrid of whitetail and mulie. Nice rack; meat was only good for sausage and required a LOT of sage and garlic to make it smell nice enough to eat....too late in the rut.
