Kansas Mule Deer

Northwest Kansas Mule Deer habitat of a dry drainage with a tumble weed variant growing in the bottom high enough to cover most of a standing Mule Deer. This Mule Deer was bedded in the tall weeds and chose to stand and watch us rather than run.

The same Mule Deer in the second picture as the first once we pressured him to run showing the grass covered slope higher ont he drainage. Kansas Mule Deer loafing cover is any that when the Mule Deer lays down he is covered. The surrounding grasslands was just a bonus of fallow ground. When walking the open lands of Kansas the Mule Deer hunter does well to glass the drains long before walking them. About the only time Mule Deer are seen in the open grass are when pressured to move.

Kansas grasslands that hold Mule Deer give the appearance of easily patternable deer sign as this trail now over 12 years old on this fallow land that has consistently held a Mule Dee herd for longer than we have held the lease. This is the same drainage as the first picture of the Mule Deer head just above the weeds.

Our Kansas Mule Deer hunts provide a variant for the deer hunter that seeks a different type of deer hunting rather than being in stand and a different type of habitat where trees are a detriment to the deer hunt.
