Mule Deer vs. Whitetail vs. Blacktail
« on: August 27, 2008, 07:03:12 PM »
After seeing more and more whitetail pics in the "random photo" section I was wondering how many members actually target whitetail in this state. I would have thought it a very low number but there are a load of great whitetail bucks showing up.

Please leave a post after voting so I can see who actually hunts for what, just curious is all.

Mule deer to start the season, then pound the brush for blacktails.

I usually prefer to go for muleys, just because I like where they live.

I prefer the open country style of muley hunting.  I love hunting coues whities, but that's in large part because they hang out in the wide open like muleys do.  Nothing better than finding a deer at long range and spending the next hour or two figuring out how to get close without getting busted.  Just don't get that same experience in tight whitey or blacktail country.

After working my whole life outside in Western WA, I got real tired of the brush! To me there is nothing better than hunting mulies in the wide open spaces of Eastern WA and OR. Next if it works out would be Whietails then BT.

I'll be sitting right there next to my dad in whitetail country.

The husband bought me a plane ticket to come back to Washington for deer season. He will still be stuck here in Germany but hopefully he can come next year. And hopefully i actually shoot something this year.  :)
