I've only ever hunted whitetails and they are tough enough when you can get up in a tree to suprise them. From what I see on TV, treestand hunting for mulies isn't all that common compared to stalking them. I'm sure they would embarass me if I ever got the chance to hunt them. I might be able to get almost close enough to get a shot at one but just before the shot I'd screw something up and blow it, without a doubt!
