School me on muzzy muleys

[Pwells10]

Someone turned in a great controlled hunt muzzleloader tag for an area that is my backyard. I know the area very well. Hunt dates are November 16-30 in Idaho. I was lucky enough to be the one that picked up the tag. Only 20 total tags given out.

School me if you will, on how this hunt might differ from an October rifle tag.

Thanks in advance. Never went after mule deer this late.

I drew out on a rifle tag that is open from October 10- November 30 in idaho and I have learned a few things. I'm sure everyone will chime in with wiser comments but it seems to be a great time to hunt for 2 reasons. Look up these for more advice on your hunt.

1. During or around the rutting period.

2. Snow brings them down from high country.

Appreciate it. Happy to finally be hunting during the rut.
