Whitetail tend to feed on "the good stuff" like farmers fields and orchards where as mule deer tend to feed on browse which is higher in strong scented oils such as sage brush.
I got a whitetail years ago that was hanging out in the alfalfa & corn fields and apple orchards in eastern Washington and I can still remember that tender and tasty meat.
Where we hunt Elk in Colorado they feed almost totaly on grass. We apply for 2015 Elk tags in one month.

Yes, but we play the system some what by incluiding my grandson in our group, and Colorado DoW leans toward making sure the young hunters get to hunt and tend to incluide the group with him. Works for me.
If my grandson does not fillout his tag he can hunt the later seasons until he does. He must have his dad along with him as a " supervisor" and responsable person. A very cool idea!

Mudwasp; While we're on the subject of Venison and hunts, I thought you might like to see how I used to do it up here in the Ontario bush. I havn't used my smoke pole in a number of years now but looking at the pics again I'm getting the urge!

Skin that one pilgrim and I'll bring you another! Killing and gutting is the easy part! Getting to the cabin for butchering is the hard part....drop them close to an easy way home

Getting to the cabin for butchering is the hard part....drop them close to an easy way home My dad got a moose permit one year. The hardest part was dropping him near the road so you could get the winch hooked up... oh, and finding enough people to eat him all. We ended up with like 400 pounds of meat!

I just love moose more than venison but it's one hell of a lot of work after the kill. If only there were dwarf moose My smoke pole is a 50 cal flint in the Penn long rifle style. Most of my hunting these days is with 30-06 Browning bolt I've been lucky to be able to hunt 550 acres of bush adjoining crown land so there are no stranger wandering into the hunting grounds.

We have been hunting Elk with black powder for years. My grandson got a cow on opening day with a neck spine shot two years ago at just turning 15. He and his Dad feet never touched the ground during the walk back to camp. I gave him my hunting knife I made out of a power hacksaw blade just before the hunt. We all had a toast of wine that evening in camp -- but his Mom know's nothing about this "male bonding event".
Some of you "smoke pole" hunters need to look up Thor bullets, all copper ( so no loss of meat to lead schrapnel ) and tack driving accuracy.
Each year the hills get higher, but with my PT program I still look forward to hunting in the Colorado high country on USFS land.
