I'm curious about how people approach hunting elk vs. mule deer. Let's leave general area aside and say you're hunting the same unit, where both are present. Given the same unit, how would your strategy and tactics differ if you are after elk vs. mule deer? Do you look for different vegetation on the map? Topography? Elevation? Do you cover more ground elk hunting? Devote more time to glassing for mule deer? Shrubby stuff vs forests? Further from roads for one?
Or do you basically do the same thing?
Appreciate any info.
EDIT: regarding 5MilesBack's comment: yes, let's assume we're talking about rifle hunting.
