doe hunt
well today i found out that our family have purchased a private land do tag for our property here in colorado. What i want to know is what doe to shoot. Im not wanting a big nasty tasting doe but one worth shooting and yes these deer are mule deer so if anyone could give me some advice i would appreciate it lol

One without antlers
Acually,I have killed Mature does, fawns, and younger does. It all tastes good to me. The older doe tasted no worse than any rutted out buck I have eaten. Shoot, eat, and be merry.

The only time I have had poormuley does is nearing estrus. Not sure when you have to hunt these deer by but if it works try hunting them pre or post rut, they will be herded up but without that lovely smell. If your not sure when the rut is for the area call your game warden to get an idea.
I drew mule doe tags this fall but didn't have time to hunt earlier, so I plan to hunt them nearing the end of the season in late nov. This is only a meat hunt so I see no need to even chance it.

Good luck in finding a good eating mulie. I have shot 5 yr old whitetails and young 3yrs old mulies in the same general area and the mulies just have a different taste all together, not bad but not near as good as a whietail. Pull the tenderloins and you can use the rest for burger would be your best bet.
