Could have been asked and answered, but did a search and never found what I was looking for. Where I used the live, we could "pattern" both white tails and muleys, but here (Region 3 near SA) the muley's allude me.
Anyway, been pounding region 3 near home pretty hard. Right toward the very end of October, I found a beautiful spot near the 1500 meter mark that was completely overrun with deer sign.
Got out last Sunday with a game plan and came soooooooo close to getting a nice 4 point, it almost made me cry when he moved off before I could ID him and get the scope on him.
Anyway, went back to the same spot yesterday, and there was not ONE fresh print (good fresh snow), let alone any other fresh sign. I suppose that hunting pressure may have moved them off, but I have also heard of folks talking about how the muleys "migrate" from up high to (presumably) lower elevation.
So, my question is, at this time of year are the muleys STILL migrating and heading for lower elevations (especially with the new snow)??
Any help appreciated.
