Foothills / Mountain Mule Deer ?

[GillieSuit]

Howdy Folks,

I am fairly inexperienced when it comes to hunting mule deer in the foothills and mountain management units. I hunted coulee bottoms and open country Mule Deer when I was in college. However, with two small children and a busy career I don't have time to make a trip out to the prairie areas to chase open country Muley's so I've been trying to connect on a buck in the more bushy mountainous areas that still have open seasons and are close to home. Can anyone provide some insight as to the type of terrain or habitat features that Mule deer prefer in this landscape.

I am just trying to get to know this animal better with regards to foothills and mountain habitats.

As always any help or tips are greatly appreciated.
