Mule deer turned me into a real hunter

Grew up hunting big woods whitetails in Eastern forests - tracking through endless hardwoods was my passion. When I moved to Montana, I honestly looked down on mule deer. Saw them casually grazing by the river like livestock and thought they'd be boring compared to my crafty Eastern bucks. Boy was I wrong. First season hunting muleys completely changed me as a hunter. These aren't your backyard deer - they migrate 50+ miles, deal with mountain lions daily, and vanish into terrain that'll test everything you've got. No tree stands or trail cams here, just boots, glass, and pure hunting instinct. Now when I see whitetails, I barely glance their way. Mule deer hunting gets back to what hunting should be - raw, challenging, and earned. Anyone else make the switch from whitetails to muleys? #hunting #muledeerhunting #whitetailhunting #Outdoors
