I can't really put my finger on it. After watching both species for so many years, quite often at great distance where the individual details like ear size or the animal's color don't stand out, I can just tell what I'm looking at.
The way they disperse in a group, the way they walk and move, where they are in relation to the terrain and available cover. I don't know.
I'm no Jim Bridger but I pretty well always know what I'm looking at.

I wouldn't consider it a waste of time if I were to see deer, sneak close, and find out it's not the kind of deer I was hunting. It's all fun.

Really though I have no experience with mullies as far as hunting but what little I have seen being out west on vacation it seems they look quite a bit different than a whitetail really......of course Ive never glassed one at 600 yards or anything like that. Ive just seen them out in fields and such from the car but I could always easily tell they weren't whitetail.
