U guys sure love that bow zone up here guess what theres alot better areas for whitetail here. Myself in this case id have to take the whitetail cuz if it was boone and crockett scoring the all time is higher on muleys so the whitey would have to be a slob in comparison cuz u specifically stated that there scores r pretty much the same in my mind were talkin 180 typical whitey here or 215 or better non typ 215 whitetail or a 215 muley probably take the whitetail depending on the time of yr if i still had both my tags in my pocket id knock em both over cuz r general would allow it.

Alberta, the reason the Bow Zone is appealing to me is because the deer are not pressured by gun hunters and they only allow about 65 nonresidents to hunt each year! There are obviously nice bucks all over Alberta, but I believe the"security" of the Bow Zone offers the best chance at a "book buck" for the archer. If you disagree where would you be hunting if you were me? I'm open for ideas.

Don't make two bits worth of difference to me. I guess I prefer to hunt Mulies. Mainly because in my unit we have 90 percent Mule deer.

As others have said, I would opt for the mulie. Just because I can take whitetail here. For me to take a Mulie here, I gotta go to the zoo. And they kind of frown upon that kind of activity for some reason. Must be a bunch of anti-hunters or something.LOL

Yeah, but they won't even let me in the gate with my bow now. I guess they don't trust me or something. Maybe it was the way I was eyeing that cape buff last time I was their.LOL
