Last year and years before if you were archery hunting deer, you could take any deer, whitetail or Mule, antlered or antler less.
This year they've changed it to match the same regs as rifle season, so now my many areas around here it's any white tail or antlered mule deer only. What the hell are we saving all the Muleys for? They're all over the fucking place. I can't imagine you'll save more than a few hundred doing this. A couple months ago I stopped into game and fish and asked how to tell a white tail from mule deer and she couldn't seem to answer.

Folks behind the desk at the Jackson office wouldn't know much about that. aside from size: Muleys: big ears, carried at a distinct angle. tend to appear floppy. antlers fork faces white between nose and eyes. both muleys and whitetails have a white path under chin They tend to stot when alarmed- bouncy gait with all four feet Whitetails: smaller ears, carried more erect, especially does antlers are main beam with points rising faces brown between nose and eyes tend to gallop when alarmed. Tails flag when alarmed. big white flag when they move away from you, that's a whitetail All in all, whitetails are more brown, muleys get quite grey by October around here. I've seen plenty of whitetails in recent years around Jackson, but my feeling is that they tend to be lower, in heavier, wetter cover. Muley's like drier, steeper, more open ground. I can't recall seeing a single whitetail around this valley above 8000'. Muley's like to go up. If you can get above them you can make them hesitate. Whitetails will run circles in the same patch of cover. |
