First Mule (doe) hunt in Colorado
Howdy,
Thanks to everyone for such a great site... I've learned a lot from the group!
So, I'm going on my first mule hunt mid November. I'm a little nervous about finding them as I can only head out for the last weekend of 3rd rifle season. My fear is that most will be pushed out by that time of year.
I hunted elk in this unit earlier this year (no luck with elk) and saw a lot of deer (and moose!). Now, a few weeks later in deer season, my friends up there are seeing less deer than I did.
What sort of patterns do mule deer does have that late in the season? A couple weeks ago, I spotted several groups while driving deep around the mountains in my unit.
I have an antlerless tag, btw.
Any advice is appreciated.
Thanks.
