Flatiron Outfitting

Overview

During the general rifle season, we find the mule deer browsing in the open side hills and brush fields of the higher elevations. These are most often the same areas we hunt for elk. It is common to be glassing these areas and see both mule deer and elk in the same canyon. Many hunters who purchase the deer / elk combination license prefer to concentrate their efforts on elk, but a mature muley buck is always a target of opportunity. The mule deer rut here usually takes place earlier than the whitetail rut. If you are looking to score on a rutted up old muley, you might consider booking your hunt for late October or early November.
