« on: September 08, 2007, 05:49:25 PM »

east side mule deer for me...and i've gotten past the point of worrying about whats easier...there's a lot more to hunting than whats easier IMO. please don't take that the wrong way.
mule deer and blacktail hunting in our state is like comparing apples to oranges. 2 totally different styles of hunting, the surroundings and scenery are different, the animals are different, the terrain is different....etc etc etc.
decide in your head what you'd like to experience and what challenges you'd like to encounter and go for it.

Well I would like to experience everything...all the challenges, lol. But it sounds to me like there is a general concensus towards mule deer. I have not really bowhunted either so im looking forward to this year. And I understand what your saying...I did not take it the wrong way...thanks for the help.

once the blacktail guys show up...it'll be an even score. there's quite a few guys on here that hunt blackies too.
