Another thing in October I noticed in NV is they ALWAYS hang out on the steepest north facing chutes they can find. Top 3rd feeding in morning then bedded in bottom 3rd mid day.
Thanks 🙏 Brady for some quick yet very useful tips and tricks to help one find mule deer 🦌 Hopefully 🙏 I can get out west soon and put them and others into action.
Good stuff! I got October buck tags in ID and NV. I'm amazed at where mule deer live with no water in NV. It always baffled me how they were getting their water intake. Now I know!
Thank you! I got a gorgeous buck this weekend, and spotted a huge mature buck. Your tips have made me very efficient. I found a great bedding and scrape area after stalking a huge buck. I appreciate you!😊
Thanks much indeed for a very useful review. May I ask you what you consider to be the absolute minimum power to be for a spotting scope (assuming quality glass to start with)? Thanks again!
I’m in a wheelchair and can’t really hunt ruff terrain, I live in central oregon. I was curious if you had any suggestions for someone in my situation.
Andrew thanks for reaching out! Wyoming and Montana would be a good start...any state that has antelope hunting would be a good species to apply for and pursue. In most open country cases you could essentially hunt from a vehicle and it's likely to get shot opportunities within close proximity of a road. The same goes for mule deer, take a look at eastern Montana or WY. Start by researching areas that are primarily BLM and consist of open rolling sage and grasslands. Really hope you find this helpful and please reach out with any additional questions!
Andrew I know plenty of folks who hunt from roads and trucks. Your best best is to find the dirt roads and find a remote area with a good vantage point that you can set up in. Use a rifle you're familiar with and be patient! let the game come into your zone. I also have lower mobility and so I focus on my glassing and on my marksmanship. Being patient and focusing on one area is a solid strategy for anyone
Tips 2 and 3 feel like they're based on this guy's intuition and preference, but it didn't seem like he had a strong reason for them other than the understated fact that he expects to find more deer in isolated areas, but that was only applicable to Tip 2. It's fine to give tips based on intuition and preference _if your audience has a relationship with you_ which could be achieved in a video series, but it's less effective in a stand alone video or with strangers.
So here’s my thing I know where the mule deer are but I don’t know how to close in on them. I’ve been bow hunting for a couple days now and the closet I’ve got is 96 yards. Any tips anyone? And I live in Wyoming if that means anything.
Yeah yeah, heres the thing. The best way to get close is to drop the bow and get a rifle. You kiddin me? You're complaining you got within a hundred yards of a muley buck?! Bow hunting is only possible with calls during the rut.
I'm only seeing does at tree line and up in September. Everyone says go higher for bucks. I literally can't go higher. Nothing makes sense. I ended up going lower and still only does. I've seen 100s of does in 2 days. No bucks.
@kfinlay70rr Ya. Ended up finding a nice group of bucks on an opposing ridge. They only came out right before dawn. I got a really nice buck on the 7th day. Thanks for the response, though.
Hey Joshua! Most likely those tips would work for California depending on the area. But a lot of it would still work just fine. Might need to modify it some based off elevation, desert conditions, etc.
The only tip you need is boots on the ground, and good glass. The rest of what these sites tell you is meant to get you to spend your hard earned money when you can do it all yourself…….
@KaliDog101 It was all planned. Biden doesn't even matter. They're trying to destroy the economy before the mid terms so it's irrepairable. Both sides are in on it.
My tip for finding mule deer is to just take your eyes off the road for a couple seconds. BAM!

Going on my first Muley hunt this year this is a bucket list hunt for me so thank you for the tips I really hope to get one this year!!
My first mule deer hunt too
@@codedillerjones7861 good luck hope you get one
SAME. struggling on using the SW and still not sure where to go...@@dustinhallett4160
Did you get one??
How did it go my first mule hunt is this year? Just found this video.
I also wanted to say I struck out on my last 3 mule deer hunts so I'm now as obsessed as Brady!
Me too! Good luck to us both this year!
Thanks, Brady! I just picked up a leftover buck tag for Colorado, so this is perfect!
Mr. Miller thanks for this. It's great to confirm methods.
Been applying these tips this summer and its slowly starting to pay off, thank you!
Stoked to hear that! We appreciate you checking out the video.
Awesome video, but mainly only useful for mountain mule deer, which is not what I was looking for.
Thanks for the tips man just drew my first mule deer tag in co. Can’t wait😎🌝
Good luck this season!
Thanks 🙏 Brady for some quick yet very useful tips and tricks to help one find mule deer 🦌 Hopefully 🙏 I can get out west soon and put them and others into action.
Glad you found the video useful. Thanks for checking it out!
Excellent video, great job Brady.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great vid! I love bow hunting muleys!
Great video thank you from the tips thanks for sharing!
Glad to help, thanks for watching!

What terrain analysis app would you suggest
I got my CO deer tag. Looking forward to November
What program are you using on your computer that displays the terrain really well? I currently am using onX. That’s it.
Look under the tables at Pike Place Market.
Thank you!
I got a gorgeous buck this weekend, and spotted a huge mature buck.
Your tips have made me very efficient. I found a great bedding and scrape area after stalking a huge buck.
I appreciate you!😊
In edge habitat you mentioned its different to find deer early season. How so? I am planning an opening day hunt this year. All the best
Thanks much indeed for a very useful review.

Cody Nelson, our glassing guru, says he's a huge fan of the compacts in the 15-45x range!

Also, is it true that hunting Mule deer in open range cattle areas in SE Arizona is not good? I got drawn for 30A, lots of open cattle ranges.
What about in the plains of CO? Not everyone goes to the mountains
Alfalfa field
Eastern New Mexico

Is there a slope grade you focus on?
not flat 2/3 to the top
Can you do a elk one?
Cool channel man

If your seeing that many Does, there's a chance there's a buck close, just very well hidden.

@@sbman436 right on man! my season starts in about a week now, getting excited to be out there
Do these tactics work for California mule deer?
Hey Joshua! Most likely those tips would work for California depending on the area. But a lot of it would still work just fine. Might need to modify it some based off elevation, desert conditions, etc.
Thanks for the feed back! I’ll take these tips into consideration.
Simple answer = glass glass glass everything
My trick is to identify chickens as deer.
Such a jerry thing to say
Smart. Never seen “deer nuggets”
Can you shed some light on what you mean by biology reports?
The only tip you need is boots on the ground, and good glass. The rest of what these sites tell you is meant to get you to spend your hard earned money when you can do it all yourself…….
I agree nobody wants to put in the hard work anymore they want it given to them
Or… here’s me out… people want tips when they are new to hunting… I know crazy… not everyone grew up hunting.
But yes “buy my product” shit gets old
$4.95 a gallon of gas isn't giving me the warm and fuzzes about getting out this year. 🤬
Lol it'll be $6+ before fall.
@@maximustheconfessor72 maybe closer to $7 at the rate we're going
thanks Biden

You need a better microphone.
you need to slow the he.. down talking please!!!
It’s all about luck 🍀. Being in the right place at the right time. I will agree on the getting away from the crowds part though. Good advice there.
