[Harvest the Land]

Mulie - but only because I haven't cut a mulie tag yet (cut my first whitetail tag 2 weeks ago). Looks like there might be more meat on that guy too

[Elkaholic]

Between those two the mulie would take a nap, more meat on that bugger!

[Chopper]

If the mulie was the same on both sides he would die ... took me all of 2 seconds to choose

[Jeff77]

100% mulie .....

[srupp]

Mule. .

Cheers
Steven

[Bugle M In]

Mule....instantly

[Glenny]

Tough call. I think the whitey for me cause they are a rare kill for me. Good eatn too.

[gunpower]

White tail. I hate muley!!

[wideopenthrottle]

hmmm...tough choice...I do like WT meat better but the mulie is quite big....mulie neck looks more swollen so maybe rutted more so probably more burger and sausage from him....I think I would be rechambering and looking for a 2 species double header tho...heheheheh

[tinhorse]

Mulie, get the extra 40 lbs of meat...more pepperoni...ummmm deer pepperoni...

[HarryToolips]

The muley, I like WT meat better, but I have yet to kill a muley that big, so muley it is...

[Wild one]

Which ever one I got a bead on first. I don't see either as a trophy in my eyes so nothing more than meat in the freezer

[.264winmag]

WT, yummmmmm

[Budman]

Muley would be going down.

[rocksteady]

WT.. maybe less meat but better tasting.

[albravo2]

Whitetail. Like Glenny said, it would be a rare prize for me.

[mastercaster]

When it comes to eating meat from deer during the rut, WT is FAR superior. If you don't mind endless chewing on stronger flavoured meat and want a nice head mount then the mulie would be a good choice.

[nature girl]

That was is a tough call but I would say mulie for me.

[shuswapbear]

I agree with "Wild one" whichever one showed up in my sights first is what I would drop ,as either way it would be my first deer

[Jeff77]

Funny how the difference of opinion on taste ..i think mulie taste better ... it also has great deal to what the deer eats to how it tastes .. so region wise it can taste different.. took a mulie out of reg 7 years back .. inedible . Dog food .. wasn't rutting..
But I think deer taste different out of different regions

[tadpole]

I would not discriminate. They are both dandy prize.

[wideopenthrottle]

see ...that is why you have a really big gun...so you can just wait till they line up for a double double...heheheh...i guess we could call it the tim hortons shot...something everyone could aspire to...two deer of two different species with one shot

[kevan]

Whitetail for me, smaller but tastier in my opinion..

[swampthing]

Muley for sure. Whitetails are way low in my trophy book.

[butthead]

so i guess the real question is
which one did you shoot?

[Silent But Deadly]

Mule deer hands down

[adriaticum]

Whitetail better eating, mule dear easier getting.
It's a toss-up

[tomahawk]

Mule deer, shot lots of both during the rut, both good eating but prefer Mule deer hunting high in the snow covered mountain tops, no interest in the WT anymore.

[gmachine19]

WT. Never had one before...

[Brew]

for antlers the muley. For table fare the whitetail

[HarryToolips]

Whitetail better eating, mule dear easier getting.
It's a toss-up
Ah but not nessesarily;-)...whitetails are generally more territorial, and easier to pattern, usually...

[brian]

Which one, depends how far I am from the truck!

[goatdancer]

I'd take the elk that's hiding in the bush........

[604Stalker]

Cant we have our mule deer and eat whitetail 2?

[Looking_4_Jerky]

Outside of rut or approaching period (before mid Oct) = MD

During rut or approach period (after mid-Oct) = WT

As others may have mentioned, I get way more satisfaction out of glassing alpine, sagebrush, or even cuts and spotting MD than I do holing up in the woods hoping one of those cagey WT *******s pokes his head out. If I can still-hunt WT, it makes it a bit more appealing, but in my experience the results are nowhere near as good as stand-hunting, which I do find really tough to do for very long.

If it was only about the hunt, MD for sure, but my primary driver remains meat, so generally the WT would go down first.

[Dannybuoy]

WT first ... the Mulie will make couple of bounces to the nearest ridge or cover and stop to look back *Blammo*

[hunterkyle]

Muley........ only because I've already killed at least 10 whiteys bigger than that one.

Sure, if you're profiling a specific individual.
