I thought I'd post a few mulie pics for your entertainment. These are NOT photoshops. All were taken with a handheld Canon Powershot.
Youth pre-season for whitetails, which is three weeks before mule deer season opens we pulled up to the farm house and saw this little buck drinking at the tank.
We sat in the truck and watched and he eventually bedded down about 15 yards from the house. So I had my dad take some pics with me and the two oldest boys.
Then my dad said "Why don't you see how close you can get?" So, I did.
Last weekend this doe and her fawn walked up and bedded down about 25 yards from the blind while we were waiting for a whitetail for my 6 year old.
When we were leaving the farm I walked towards a herd of mulies while my dad sat int he truck and took a couple of pics. There were at least 12 in this little herd. Most of them moved into the edge of the trees but still visible to me. You can see one in the open to the left of the big tree in the middle.
Here is a closer one of the same scene. The mulie is at the far left edge of the pic.
We were getting ready to go hunting the opening day of mulie season this year and I opened the door and saw a buck in the driveway. I went back in and we turned out the light and opened the front door and watched the buck eat some weeds in the front yard and rub on a tree in the front yard. We finally lost sight of him in the dark. Just before legal shooting time I went to a little blind in the front yard. I saw this buck wandering around in the field about 200 yards behind the house. Finally, he bedded down. My 8 year old son and I stalked up to about 60 yards of him and my son shot him.
I probably couldn't get pics like these of whitetails outside of a national park. I certainly couldn't get one like the last one.
