Everyone wants better mule deer hunting, but what is that really? Bigger herds? Better bucks? Better draw odds? Less opportunity for other hunters besides ourselves? Or something else altogether?

Travis and Robby discuss some changes that could be on the horizon in at least three western states: Utah, Idaho, and Wyoming.

Travis also shares some of scouting experiences since his seasons closed.

If you want better mule deer hunting, you need to get involved now.  Below are links to some of the proposals discussed, and links to public meetings (some can be attended virtually).  The future is ours, we just need to get involved and debate all the ideas out there to make the best decision for the future of mule deer.
