If you can find any animals travel routes you should be able to ambush them to some extent. Long distance scouting would be best before the season you may only get 1crack at a big buck before you blow him out of the area.
It's actually a 2nd deer tag. Bucks are out of the equation. I can shoot a doe. If I can, will probably shoot 2 does.

two mule deer does should take you MAYBE an hour. if you're slow! :chuckle: those are the DUMBEST animals on the planet! ride up to them on a 4 wheeler, shoot, gut, load, have a beer by 10am! :tup:
God I hope you're right. All I'm trying to do is stuff the freezer this year so I can do a little bit more "quality" type hunting next year.

A lot of times you can watch them in the mornings from a good vantage point. Then they will go bed down and you can put a stalk on them. A lot of things factor in but wind is a big factor. In the early season when it is crunchy you might try a trick that I use. I found some really big thick wool socks that I can stretch over my boots. It really helps you stalk up on them and keep noise at a minimum.
Ooooo. Neat! Gonna try that

You can even take that one step further and remove your boots and put the thick socks over the pair your allready wearing.A lot of times you can watch them in the mornings from a good vantage point.

Maybe in the late season! TO MANY SNAKES FOR ME TO TAKE MY BOOTS OFF AROUND HERE!!!! PLus if you hunt to the east like the tri cities. You get into a lot more yellow star and those suckers can be 1-2" long! Aint no wool sock going to stop that! :chuckle:

DoubleJ you do know this is a private access tag, and you have to wear hunter orange during your hunt? Even so mulie does are not the flightest things, do though get very comfortable with your bow and our shooting ablitlity...What unit?

The only time I have done this was in the wilderness on an early season hunt between 7000 and 8000 feet not to many snakes up there or people for that matter!You can even take that one step further and remove your boots and put the thick socks over the pair your allready wearing.A lot of times you can watch them in the mornings from a good vantage point.

ONE, these animals have no "schedule" all they have to do is eat and drink and survive. No soccer games to get to, no meetings, no work, etc. No spouse nagging them.....
TWO, which plays into ONE, these animals have to deal with the likes of Cougars stalking them among MANY other things. Think your senses are keen? What do you think theirs are like?

1 thing you might try for early archery Muley does is a fawn bal distress call. Just a hand call like your calllin coyotes. Works best when you spot them several hundred yards away first. I've had them practically run me over they come in so hard!
I had this on the plan list. I've seen the blacktails react and seen videos of mulies reaction.

I always like a little rain.
I always like a little fog that lifts and drops, lifts and drops.
I always like a planes going over.
I always like a brutal cold day where the sun comes out on the south slope.
