Q: Hey im going hunting for my first time for mule deer help?
ok so my first time going mule deer hunting or hunting at all for that matter. and its bow hunting, im 15 and going with one of my dads friends who i have known for all my life hes a very experienced hunter. were hunting in AZ northern i think not sure but i need 2 know what kind of camo i should buy
any help would be great and any tips would be great to thanx
A: Buy light colored camo or camo like mossy oak thats pattern is very tight. It will make you less visible. Deer can see the colors blue and yellow, but just because they are near COLORblind doesnt mean they have excellent vision for outlines and silhouettes of people.
Q: What is a good mule deer gun for bush hunting with shots 200yds or less?
I already have a .30-06 but im looking to buy a rifle specificly for deer, I was thinking about maybe a .308, but I want to hear about other calibers too. I hunt mule deer in my area. (Coastal B.C Canada) My 30-06 does fine but it is a little big, I primarily use it for elk and moose. Any input is appreciated Thanks.
A: I’m going with Carson on this one. A .30-30. Preferably a Marlin 336 also. Good, solid, utterly accurate gun for the money. .30-30 will easily drop any deer out to 200yds. and beyond (trajectory may become an issue after 200 though…). I’d stick with the .30-06 though. It does a good enough job.
Q: Mossy oak brush camoflauge is it good for Mule Deer Hunting?
I will be hunting in just about everything from sage, pines, aspens, cedars, and mahogany’s. Is this a good camo I will be archery hunting and like the way it looks thanks. Any other suggestions?
A: ‘Good camo’ has nothing to do with what you are hunting, and everything to do with WHERE you are hunting. If you like that pattern, buy it. There is no true universal camo (ask the military, they keep trying), but anything is better than a bright red sweater and jeans.
In the pure sense, open country sagebrush camo patterns, aspen and harwoods are all totally different patterns, and nothing is going to blend perfectly everywhere.
Q: In the game “The Hunter” how do I switch from hunting mule deer to white tail deers?
Please answer this question. It says on my account that I have the trial version of white tail deer. Also after joining the competion how do you play in the competion?
A: maybe ask in the videogame section
Q: sw colorado mule deer hunting?
ok, so i may have a chance at hunting mule deer in SW colorado in late october or november. what would be the likely range of a shot? i dont know the terrian there so i dont know what rifle to take.
if it’s under 250 yards i’ll probably use one of my MN 91/30s.
A: In that area depending on where you are can be very rugged and open or lots of trees. I have seen deer miles away in the open and hard to get close to several herds. You could be faced with a long shot or hoping later for a close up shot in the tree line. Take your long range gun….it could be your only shot.
Q: Would take a .243 moose or mule deer hunting?
My dad just bought a Savage 111FCXP3 package series in .243. I was wondering if you would take it moose hunting. i can drive up to them on my quad to about 50 yards and get out so i thought at 50 yards you should drop em if you put one in the vitals. For mule deer ill be shooting them at about 100-200 yards so i thought a 100 gr will do it.
A: the 243 is one of the best deer rounds on the market, ive seen it used on large elk with no problem. if your an excellent shot you could drop a moose out to 50 or 100 yards no sweat. if your not comfortable hitting a target the size of a quarter i wouldn’t advise it. if you do try to kill a moose with it i would study their anatomy to find the best spots for a clean kill
Q: Which caliber is better for California mule deer hunting, 7mm-08 or 7mm magnum?
A: I’d stick with the 7mm-08, that will be more than plenty for mule deer hunting. It is a good solid performer.
It is true that the 7mm rem magnum fires the same bullet at higher velocities, but this comes at the cost of reduced magazine capacity, longer action, and most importantly more recoil. If you have experience shooting 30-06 level rifles with no hitch you will be fine with 7mm rem mag, but otherwise you have absolutely no need to go to that power level for mule deer.
Q: Where is a good place to hunt mule deer in oregon?
ok please help me. i want to shoot a big mule deer buck because i think it will be my last hunting expeience with my grandpa. we both have 10 prefrence points so i think we could draw any tag. it is his dream to shoot a mule deer before he dies, so please help me!
A: I have never personally hunted it, but I have hear good things about the Whitehorse, Owyhee and Beulah units for mule deer.
Q: is mule deer hunting good in vanhorn tx?
A: It can be good; however it depends on the hunter and the property. It will be a very primitive hunt, in that area. Don’t expect much in the way of blinds and cabins. Expect to hunt wide open, rocky, mountainous terrain. In addition, land management is critical. If you hunt at a guided, managed ranch, you’ll do well. If you are looking at the cheap land for sale on craigslist, or the “ranchette” sites, good luck. There won’t be a road or any utilities on the property and it is in the middle of nowhere. Hot in the summer, like real danged hot, and cold, WINDY, winters. Good luck; don’t buy anything out there without seeing it… The muleys are there, though, but this is the roughest country in Texas. I prefer civilized central Texas, south Texas, or hillcountry hunting. West Texas hunting is like hunting in Wyoming… about as desolate too.
Q: whats a good rifle cal. for a woman to go hog, white tail and mule deer hunting other than 223 and 243?

A: Moving up, the .257 Roberts and .270. My wife shoots .270 fine.
Q: What is a good book on hunting Mule Deer?
A: I’ve never seen a book, but magazines such as Outdoor Life and Field and Stream always have a few articles about mulies per year. You can also do some research on the web and come up with answers to any questions you have.

HI, I’m going to Colorado on a self guided Muley hunt. I have drawn GMU Units 4, 441, 214, and 14
Any advice you can give me about these areas would be great.
THANKS IN ADVANCE!
A: Having only hunted 19, 20, and 6 I can’t give you much advice but you might try Cabelas.com and go to their talk forums. There’s a fair amount of people on the site from here in Colorado that have hunted other units.
Q: were is the best mule deer hunting ?
have heard the new mexico has some pretty big mulies
A: New Mexico is “just ok” in my opinion. I live in Montana an apply for Nevada every year hoping to draw a tag for America’s true trophy: a B&C Mule Deer
Q: Which Rifle scope is best ofr Whitetail and Mule deer hunting.?
Having been away from hunting for several years due to overseas work i am now refitting rifles with scopes etc. Considering that I WILL be using something between 3-4 X 9-12 with a 50 mm rec. Im now looking at brands..
Busnell, Nikon, BSA, Leatherwood, leopold. Taking into consideration the bang for the bucks In leaning toward the Leatherwood. We have all heard that its better to have a $ cheaper gun with a $500 scope than vise versa… * Dont always agree with that.* Anyway id really appreciate personal opinions…
A: I can tell you from my experience….. The best scope I’ve used was a Leupold. The glass has very good clarity and can with stand the recoil of any gun. Next in line would be the Nikon, it to has good clarity and with stand the recoil of a semi-auto .30-06 rifle. Bushnell, is third on my list. The clarity isn’t as good as a Leupold or Nikon, but it can with stand the recoil of a .300 Winchester Mag. As for a BSA scope…. I wouldn’t put it on a centerfire rifle. I have my doubts that it can take a blow from a recoil of a deer rifle. I’d keep the BSA on a rimfire rifle.
I have no experience with a Leatherwood scope, so I can’t offer any feedback on that brand of scope.
