Default Wmu 330

Going to start the season hunting WMU 330 (Whitetail). I know there are some Mulies in there but are the numbers worth going to buy a Mulie tag just in case (have never hunted Mulies before) and I don't foresee myself specifically hunting for Mulies

Mule deer are pretyy scarce in most of WMU 330. I have had 1/4 of land on the west side for 22 years and never saw a mule deer on it. If I insisted on tryin for them I would concentrate along the Sask. R. since mulies prefer a side hill more than white taileds.

Yup.... went to draw a couple of years ago...., never even seen a muley in 330 along the river as many times as I was in there, but wasnt hunting either, just working.

I agree, get towards the N. Sask river, great Muley country, not to mention , all other game. Good luck.

Thanks all, will stick to the Whitetails then. Must have overlooked the draw requirement for Mulies in 330, thanks bonedogrocky

Go to 339 for general mulies, won't have a problem filling a tag.

I hunt 330 a lot and see very few mule deer there. My wife has a bull moose tag for the late season, so if you find a young tender bull, young Eldon, give us a call.
