So I have a list of questions regarding a mule deer's typical behavior and how to plan a stalk around that. (Hunting early September)
So after you glass one at first light and watch him bed, do you start a stalk on the first bed or do you wait to give him a chance to move to his "all day bed"? What time of day do they typically bed for the first and second time? Do they sometimes only bed once and stay there all day? If so how do you know if he plans to stay or move? How far do they move between first and second beds? Do you recommend closing the distance on them while they are still in the first bed and then waiting till the second bed to make a final stalk?
What about evening? How late in the day can you stalk a bedded deer before it gets too risky - changing thermals or him getting up to feed for the night?
That's enough questions for now. Thank in advance for any advice or opinions!
