Hi alex,
Thanks for the information, I was not aware that the Mule deer were up in Canada, I do know them but just assumed they were down in the more arid areas, the ears had me a bit tricked and I was more or less going on the rump patch, anyway thanks we can live and learn its certainly a nice area I have been to the states befor but never up in to Canada, and that is my loss
thanks again ,this is what I like so much about this forum its just like one big family and we all share our many varied interests unselflishly
Best Regards,
Ron,

Ron..
Mulies run as far north as Central Saskatchewan and are very prolific and as much a nuisance to farmers as 'roos are to OZ farmers...
Because of the exploding deer pops'. in SASK. we had two main zones..North and South..
As residents we were allowed two white tails in the north and two mulies and one white tail in the south..
This was back in the '80..so don't know now..
I allways had one freezer full of just smokies(Smoked deer sausage) and brought my family up on deer meat..
Canada's west ,like OZ is wide open country and most hunters used .308,30-'06,7MM magnum,.270,6.5X55 ,.243 or some other flat shooting long range cartridge...
I prefered my 30-'06 M77 featherweight Ruger...with 2X7 Wide angle Redfield scope...
After years and years of practice,tons of handloading and testing,deer kills from 1800Meters-18 Ft..I put the hobby to rest..sold all my guns and hunt now with a camera..and get my meat from The store..Too many idiots out there now with lethal weapons that call themselves hunters..
