Mule Deer Hunting

Mule Deer are the signature native species of West Texas, thriving in the wide-open desert plateaus and canyon country of the Trans-Pecos. Known for their large ears, bounding gait, and heavy forked antlers, Mule Deer provide a pure, fair-chase experience across some of the toughest—and most rewarding—terrain in the state.

Why Hunt Mule Deer in West Texas?

• Low Fence, High Quality: West Texas offers some of the best free-range mule deer hunting in the country.
  
  
• Peak Rut in Late Fall: November through early December brings mature bucks out of hiding.
  
  
• Tough, Wild Country: This is a spot-and-stalk hunter’s dream, not a feeder hunt.
  
  

Hunting Methods

• Glass-and-Go: Spend hours glassing distant mesas and draws to locate a shooter buck.
  
  
• Rifle-Only Terrain: Wide open country makes archery tough—bring a flat-shooting rifle.
  
  
• Tracking After Rains: Follow fresh sign after rainstorms for a more immersive hunt.
