muleys are easier to hunt they are not nearly as affraid as whitetails are of people. you can walk up on one within 20 feet and if you just stand there they will just stand there looking back at you. you may notice that about most animals here in the west they are less weary of humans. I used to live in missouri so I am very used to hunting whitetails I have not hunted mule deer yet but I have encountered many walking through the woods.
