I'm from central Nebraska where we have a fair share of both whitetails and muley. It is from my own personal experience that I believe it is tougher to kill a whitetail than a muley. Whitetails are wayy more skittish than muleys. I've drove my truck within 15 yrds of a muley buck. A whitetail buck would never allow you to do that! So I don't think it is fair to say a mule deer hunt is more challenging. Also like everyone else said there are many more whitetail hunters than muley hunters

Hey, MULEY669, there was one guy that was bashing everybody, he got banned from all the forums. I have not been here very long but, I dont bash anyone. You might think about bashing people or forums, because you get get to many complaints, you could be like R****** P****** . Just food for thought.

Yeah right, Mulies are more challenging, spot from a mile away, walk up, bump him, he takes a few hops and always stops to look back, boom, drive up to him an load him in the truck.

Lying in wait, on a game trail, with cameras, scents, grunts, ridiculous scent lock suits, this gizmo and that gizmo sums up whitetail hunting in America today. Throw in the unnatural modification of environment via QDM and AI practices and you have genetically engineered deer minipulated for horn porn. Sorry, not my idea of a challanging hunt.
Now all this came about because of an idea to have separate forums for species and a few got their panties in a bunch. How about a compromise, we turn this forum in to the Mule deer forum, and move whitetails to the varmit forum where they belong.

Your just digging yourself a deeper hole muley. I've never hunted Mule deer, so I can't compare the two. Muley, obviously you have been watching Whitetail videos, because they don't depict natural hunting situations. I know the Whitetails on my property are nothing in comparison to the Whitetails I see on hunting videos. They are much, much more difficult to hunt on my property. A mature buck wouldn't be caught close to an opening on my property, unlike the bucks taken on vidoes where they just walk out in any food plot or other opening. Hunting videos make Whitetail hunting look like a piece of cake, but in the real world ,we know it's not. I'm sure it's the same for Mule deer.

Why? I see all the gadgets, gimicks etc and those are all things we never needed. I use scent, it's called the wind, and it's what my dad taught me to use. We have commercialized hunting to the point of no return. Knocking on the neighbors door doesn't get you in the field because the land has been leased for the almighty dollar. The land wouldn't be leased if it were not for hunters near insatiable desire to kill the biggest buck in the woods. The real beauty of a trophy class whitetail is in it's rarity. We have sought to make it common place, and in doing so the beauty is lost.
Now in Montana the leasing scurge has reared it's ugly head. I blame it on eastern whitetail hunting. I have seen the Texas hunting videos and it is enough to make me puke, that ain't hunting. I am also tired of folks saying we all need to stick together, I call BS on this. I'm done sticking up for anything that prostitutes hunting the way we have. I look at the vast amounts of money spent by hunters trying to weigh the odds in their favor, at what point do the gimicks, cameras and crap like that become too much? Forget the antis, hunters are corrupting the sport from the inside out, and it starts with whitetail hunting. No other hunting has been twisted and distorted to the point of perversion like whitetail hunting.
