Deer

November 1^st marks the start of deer session. Running from the first to the thirtieth, deer hunters have I whole month to find and bag or kill their buck or doe. Most people will hold out on killing a deer in the first week or two, but coming into the third and fourth weeks people start being less picky on what deer they should take. When hunting you should know what tag you have, whether it’s a white tail or mule deer tag. You also need to know the difference in the two types of deer. The best way to tell them apart is their ears. Mule deer have longer and wider ears while white tails have shorter skinner ears. If that doesn’t help you tell them apart, white tails have a white butt and the underside of their tails are white. Mule deer don’t and will hop like a jack rabbit when they are running.

To me mule deer are much more fun to hunt because; they have bigger racks than most white tails tend to. The white tail I got last year was bigger than my dad’s mule deer. The white tail I get was a four by five or a nine point and my dad’s mule deer was a two by three or a five point. I get bragging rights all year. I didn’t draw a deer tag this year for the hills, but maybe in the plains re-draw I can get a tag
