Mule/Whitetail Deer

Here's Brent Scott and a nice mule/whitetail deer taken with GrizzlyStik arrows and a Maasai broadhead.There have been some questions as to the kind of deer this one really is. Here's what we know so far..."...Brent told me it might be mulie-whitetail hybrid (less gas/ better fuel economy I suppose) and I agree it seems to have lots of the characteristics of a whitetail deer. He sports the big, broad tail of course, is missing the white rump patch of a mulie, has the appearance of the white belly typical in a whitetail and carries the small ears as well. It might indeed be a hybrid. Blacktails are similar to a whitetail body/color wise but with a very dark or black tail of course, body hair more likened to a whitetail yet with more mulie type antler confirmation. The very large tail on Brent's deer appearing light brown atop and white underneath seems to be a tell-tale (or tell-tail) key here. I am not a deer expert but it does look a bit more like a whitetail to me.""Yeah- I agree with all said. Locals there in CO thought it was a hybrid with that not being unusual. We re thinking hybrid wtih a lil of both!!!!!"Brent Scott

I shot him at 20 yards broadside. I watched him for about 10 minutes before I shot him. Couldn’t have been a better way[...]

Slow Start, Strong Finish

Overall, it was a slow start to the pre-rut, but with temps dipping down into the low 30s, what a difference a front can make in the deer woods. Sitting in the dark I could hear grunting, chasing and snort wheezing in the woods in front of me. After daylight broke things quieted down. An hour later a[...]
