Client Review: High Country Velvet Mule Deer Hunting

Idaho high country velvet mule deer hunt. Quest for a 200 inch mule deer.

Mule Deer Hunting

I have been chasing mulies for years, and this hunt is a phenomenal find. It is a first-rate, high-quality experience any way you look at it. I will be going back. I hunted mule deer this past August during an early-season velvet hunt and took a mule deer buck that green scored close to 200 B&C, and I saw but could not get on a buck that would have scored another 15 to 20. That buck was higher, wider and had a 14-inch sword point on one side of his rack. I lost him after an all-morning stalk in the timber. Fifteen minutes later, I spotted the buck I eventually killed. I also saw a third buck that was larger still. In total, I saw 15 bucks in a day and a half. An incredible hunt! [Read the rest...]

Idaho Quail Hunting

Cory Glauner quail hunting
