They cover various aspects such as deer behavior, the importance of water sources, food identification, terrain navigation, effective glassing techniques, stocking strategies, and the impact of weather on deer activity. Stanley shares valuable tips for new hunters, emphasizing the significance of patience and understanding deer patterns to increase success in the field. Takeaways: September is a prime time for mule deer hunting. Mule deer are primarily feeding in the early morning and late evening. Water sources are crucial, especially in dry conditions. Look for green vegetation as mule deer are selective eaters. Get high and glass for better visibility of deer. Change angles when glassing to spot hidden deer. Patience is key; waiting for the right moment can yield better results. Weather changes can significantly affect deer movement. Property edges often hold more deer than the middle of open areas.

Hunting in South Dakota is such a cool experience, they have Mule Deer, Elk, Whitetail Deer, and an abundance of small game and predators, so I figured it would be a good time to have my buddy Derek Ver Beek from Buckstorm on the show to talk about his upcoming hunt plans for South Dakota.

In this episode of Wild Things and Wild Places, Janet, Chris, and Joey from the Muley Fanatic Foundation recap their busy and impactful summer of 2025. The team took part in fawn captures in the Wyoming Range to support ongoing mule deer monitoring efforts, gathering critical data on population health. They also tackled invasive species and habitat restoration through Cheatgrass spraying near Rock Springs and Juniper removal south of town—both essential to preserving quality mule deer habitat. Additional efforts included sagebrush mowing in Kemmer, Wyoming, where the goal was to improve forage conditions by promoting the growth of new, nutritious plants. The group also previewed the upcoming Porcupine Creek project, which will reduce conifer encroachment in Aspen stands through prescribed burns. Janet shared updates on a vegetation study with the Monteith Shop, focusing on mule deer browsing habits in the Big Piney area by analyzing vegetation and fecal samples. The episode wraps up with a look ahead at future restoration work and newly allocated funding...reinforcing the Muley Fanatic Foundation's dedication to conservation and habitat health across Wyoming.

On today's episode of the Rokcast, Robby hosts Don Whittaker, Ungulate Coordinator for the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife. Don is on the forefront of redesigning Oregon's Wildlife Management Units to align with the latest research on Oregon mule deer herds.  These new "herd units" will replace the former unit boundaries and allow Oregon's wildlife professionals to better manage mule deer.  This is cutting-edge wildlife managament that other western states are likely to adopt as we learn more about mule deer and how they utilize a wide range of habitats across North America. A few of the talking points Don & Robby cover: Why is the change necessary? New naming system Larger hunt areas Fewer total hunts Tag adjustments Landowner preference tags Preference points Proposed hunts and tag numbers will be available online in July 2025 What about whitetails and elk—are there hunt areas changing? What about management objectives?

Robby hosts this multi-topic episode. Front and center is his review on the 2013 book: "Blood in the Tracks: A Mule Deer Manifesto" by Jim Collyer.  Robby shares some of the highlights of this great mule deer book on today's episodes. Jim Collyer spent 40 years hunting mule deer before he penned this book, and it shows. Jim has a deep experience hunting mule deer and this book can help anyone in their pursuit. Most mule deer books focus on high country/spot & stalk, but Jim writes about hunting in the timber and some of the old school tactics, like tracking--tactics that are more conducive to pursuing big mule deer living in the thicker country. Jim also dives into the proper mindset a successful mule deer hunter must adapt. Robby also shares some good news on the mule deer front: Idaho bringing back some opportunity previously lost to the hard winters of late. He wraps up the episode with a story about the first buck he ever killed after finding him in the preseason, nearly 60 days earlier. While that was over 30 years ago, the lessons learned still hold true.

In this GOHUNT Bonus Episode of The Western Rookie podcast, Brian Krebs breaks down everything you need to know about the 2025 Utah Mule Deer Application. From new rule changes to draw strategies and trophy unit potential, this episode is packed with insights for both seasoned hunters and first-time applicants. Utah continues to offer solid options for mule deer hunters—especially those looking for opportunity hunts in the West. Key Takeaways: Application Deadline: April 24, 2025 at 11:00 PM MT Utah hunting license tip: Buy near the deadline to use it for two application cycles New in 2025: You can no longer apply for both general season and dedicated hunter deer hunts Trail cameras banned on public land from July 31 through year-end Multiple general season units have 100% draw odds for non-residents with 0–3 points and solid trophy potential Bonus Tips: Use GOHUNT Insider to research unit changes and draw odds (Code: Western for $50 gear credit) Dedicated Hunter Program allows hunting all 3 seasons with 2 bucks in 3 years—but requires volunteer hours or a buyout Utah's deer herds are still recovering from the 2023 winter, but opportunity remains strong in many units Conclusion: Whether you're holding max points or just starting out, Utah should be on your radar in 2025.
