Mule Deer Recap with Dustin Wittwer

Show Notes:

Dustin Wittwer is the host of the Finding Backcountry Podcast . Dustin’s also quite the mule deer hunter and grew up chasing them around as a kid. On his podcast, Dustin’s interviewed a ton of qualified hunters, which has helped him put together a roadmap for bettering his own hunting skills. Although he goes after a few elk, sheep, and moose tags, mule deer is Dustin’s sweet spot.

Dustin shares how he approaches his whole mule deer season, starting from the beginning of the year. He looks forward to all the planning and scheming that goes into getting tags and scoring points, and maybe even likes it more than the actual hunting. Dustin starts planning early, and his advice is to identify exactly what you want to go after and try to stay as close to home as possible so you’re able to really understand an area and revisit it.

We get into the best times to kill a high-country mule deer as well as the worst. Dustin also shares his approach to hunting out of state, reverse scouting tips, and a few ways hunters can think outside the box for a more successful hunt.
