I have hunted elk in this area 2 years. The first time I hunted was the first of archery season and saw some nice mule deer, I'm from Georgia so I am comparing the deer to Georgia Whitetails. They may be small by mule deer standards but I'll be happy with any legal buck. With that said, I drew a mule deer tag for this area this year. For the most part, the mule deer that have been seen have been all over and no real pattern that I could tell. Some have been in dark timer on game trails and some have been in meadows. I have listened to podcasts every day about hunting mule deer and they all talk about glassing mule deer and trying to get them to bed down before you try to move in on them. The areas in these units that I have been elk hunting in, does not look suitable for glassing mule deer due to dark timer and being thick. Maybe I just don't know what I am doing. When hunting elk, we mostly hunt water holes or try to call. I will also be elk hunting this year while deer hunting. Any advise on how to become an okay mule deer hunter for the last 2 weeks of archery season? Thanks in advance.
