Growing up on the prairies, I was lucky to be surrounded by fabulous mule deer country 360 degrees around me. Maybe that’s partially why I’ve always been such a mulie fanatic. It’s certainly not because they’re easy to hunt—a big, mature mule deer buck can be about as cagey as it gets, spending the majority of time in open country. In my opinion it’s tougher to harvest a big mature mule deer than breaks B&C then it does a B&C whitetail and one look at the B&C record books confirms that. Now taking a massive antlered, sway-backed old Mule Deer…
Temperatures drop, winds howl, and snow falls, transforming many hunters into football tans. Remember, every seven-year-old Boone & Crocket buck had to survive its hunting season as a six-year-old. We all dream of that once-in-a-lifetime deer and sometimes it happens in the fourth quarter.

Any uncut agricultural field becomes a deer magnet and snow cover makes finding trails and large tracks quite easy. In some areas, yearling does come into heat, igniting mating activity that makes bucks vulnerable to rattling, grunting and other…
As a dedicated whitetail conservationist, wildlife biologist and big game hunter, I have had the pleasure of managing winter whitetails for more than 25 years. From deeryard operations in the mountains of Quebec, to counting ‘pellet groups’ in Central Ontario as part of a Fish & Wildlife program, to today managing my own backyard program in the National Capital Region. You might say managing winter whitetails is a pet project of mine, and an activity I take quite seriously! Backyard deer feeding is an enjoyable pastime and can be of benefit to whitetail herds as snow depth increases. Having done…
“Who in the hell is crazy enough to hunt in this weather,” scowled the state worker waiting for the storm to pass before plowing the roads. After ten minutes of talking football, the fellow cooled off, started his road grader, and pulled our rig back on the highway. The full-blown blizzard had also blown down a power pole and wires sparked across the highway, relegating us to hunting from camp. “I know a good spot,” I said to Seth McGinn, whose knowledge of the Nebraska Cornhuskers convinced the irate local to rescue us from the ditch. Shouldering our muzzleloaders, we…
