Mule deer really aren't too hard to find. Just go over the mountians to the east side, and they are every where there is crops.
Find wheat country, that's a good start.
Now, finding a shooter buck? during open season?
That's a different story.

My only advise is to get some good optics.
Crops....??? i recommend just going over east scouting in areas known for mule deer... high buck hunts tend to have big mules...

So I have never killed or even hunted Mule Deer before.  Not looking for places to hunt but would like some tips of the trade that you Mule Deer hunters have used to connect.
If on a budget, spend the majority of your allotted funds on "quality" optics. :twocents:
:yeah:
:yeah: :yeah:  And "quality" means "$$$$". Count the $'s.  :chuckle:
