Has anyone else ever noticed this about hunting Mule Deer?
Every opportunity for a shot an a Mule Deer I have had whether with a bow or firearm has been down hill. I thought nothing of it until last fall when a friend of mine returned to Iowa with a nice 4x4 he shot in Colorado. While listening to him tell of his hunt I realized all the deer they had taken were with down hill shots. I returned home to ponder this that night and in every incidence I might have spotted the deer above me, tried to close the gap and had several opportunities to glass them from below but never a shot from below... Each and everytime I have gotten a shot the deer has given up its vantage point and changed it's stategy to head down hill abandoning its pursuer above. Think about your previous Mulie hunts and let me know if you to have seen your shot opportunities develop below you each and evertime.
How many Mullie hunts have started uphill and ended with a Mulie looking back over its hind end at you while making for the low ground?
