Title: Do doe bleats work on mulies??
Post by: jrebel on November 23, 2012, 11:54:05 AM: Give me your thoughts....I know whitetail and blacktail deer will respond well when in the rut, but never thought that mule deer where that territorial. What do you guys thing and what are your experiences. Anyone use a doe in estrus bleat?

I was just standing there and a doe and fawn walked up on me when they realized I was something odd they spooked but ran opposite directions. This was the 1st time I heard a mule deer bleat, the doe kept calling the fawn it was pretty cool.
