Title: calling in mulies?
Post by: nitro on November 17, 2010, 08:27:29 PM: Never have tried it before but real want to try useing my deer calls to try and call in a mule deer, just wondering if any one has done this and does it really work like it does on white tails?

I've got a call that's called "Tweety". It works on muley does very well. You just scream on it as loud as you can. Works well with bear and coyotes too.

Post by: boneaddict on November 18, 2010, 08:42:37 AM: I haven't. I haven't even picked up a card yet this year. I was pretty disappointed in the game out there lately. I keep waiting for JDB to tell me its gangbusters and then I'll go in. I should be out there today. No fog. I'm sure coyotes are good, and sounds like lots of cats, though I don't know how you'd tree one. LOL
