Mountain Mule Deer are different than the desert mule deer I grew up hunting in my home state of Arizona. Mule deer that live in the mountain states migrate. They have summer grounds and winter grounds. The month of October is that transition period where they decide to start moving from summer grounds to winter grounds. And for that reason is why this hunt can be somewhat difficult. It’s a moving target. With a proper approach for e-scouting, you can line yourself up for success that much better. Which is what I want to break down in the video below.

E-Scouting October Mountain Mule Deer

Thanks for Watching!

Everything I’ve laid out in the video above has lead me to success in the past. And while it may seem monotonous at times, it works. There is a lot to think about when trying to e-scout for a hunt. But, I promise if you take the time to do this stuff ahead of hunting season, you’re going to be able to focus more of your time and energy on hunting. Good luck out there folks!
