Everything Bone has posted in this thread is spot on.  I will add that I personally believe the day a muley rubs his velvet off is his sign that he's ready for the smell of estrus. :twocents:

What GMU?  could be possible a few whities are running around.
don't think it'd be white tail. But I could be wrong. We hunt a little west of ellensburg. Not sure what elevation white tails stick around but were up around 5,000 feet, if that helps.

Last time I hunted MT I watched a little 4x4 mule deer make a scrape' pee in it, then lay down in it.  Get back up dig at it some more, pee in it again, then work a tree over for about 10 mins.

It was about 100 yards straight up the hill of this guy.  I found three on this outing alone, along with many rubs.
