Alberta Muly

[salar600]

Hey,

I have an oportunity to hunt doe muly, late November in Medecin Hat area. Never been there, never hunted that!

If you were me, would you choose last or second last week of November?

Am I right to expect a spot and stalke hunt? What is the best technique for this animal at this time of the year?

Any input would be appreciate.

Muley does are not usually a difficult hunt. They tend to be less wary than are Whitetail.

Since the rut will be in progress, animals should be moving anytime in the day, with prime
in the early morning and late afternoon. Spot and stalk should work fine.

Good Luck on your hunt. Dave.

Scout till you find them, then stalk. River valleys and coulees are your friends.

They will stand broadside and look at you. Pick the one you like.

A deer stopper works great as the approach cover they usually freeze for one last look.......be ready.Should be like shooting fish in a barrel.

There's a very good reason their populations are more sensitive to hunting pressure than Whitetails. I have seen some pretty spooked ones though, they're not that dumb.

Be very careful your doe isn't a 4" spike ..........them big 9" ears and willows can hide an antler.Have fun.A set of shooting sticks or a bi-pod is a bonus.

Bring a hoodie or bunny hug..lol
Shoot in the wind a bit also will help out.. chances of having a calm day are slim to nilllllll..
Some rope would be a good idea, ravines and gullies attract fleeing mulies.. or some game bags.
Fun times filler the freezer

This is my hunting grounds. What WMU are you hunting in? I hunt the 148 and 150 most of the time.

I'll hunt 148.

Thanks for all your comments guys ;-)

One more question. Is there any chance to see WTdeer in this area?

 

[Buckmastr]

Yes. A general WT tag is a must.

 

[Grizzly Adams]

Yes. A general WT tag is a must.

White tailed rats, as my farmer friend, calls them are everywhere.

I drew antlerless mulie for 256. Sunday I scouted the land I received permission to hunt and saw 4 mulies and 3 whitetails. Beauty of a spot, 1/4 section with half in crop and the other half real gnarly bush along a 100 yard wide deep ravine with a creek running through the bottom. I'll have tags in my pocket for both this weekend.

 

[salar600]

Excellent! ;-)

Prairie mule deer does are about as easy as it gets in terms of big game hunting. Focus on any pasture with lots of brush or willows or a coulee/river bottom. Trophy bucks are a different game but does should be a 100% sucess rate in eastern Alberta and Sask.

 

[salar600]

Great. Do I need to bring high end binocular and spotting scope or the light and compact will be enough?

 

[bbobie]

If your hunting does you really don’t need to judge them like you would if you were after big bucks, so some 8x40 hi is should work

 

[salar600]

Make sense.
Will they be on the move at dusk and dawn only or any time of the day?
