Legacy Outdoors offers high quality hunts for trophy mule deer. The mule deer is very widespread – found from the deserts of Mexico, throughout the mountainous western US states, and into the prairie and forest fringe of western Canada. Mule deer have the heaviest body weight and largest racks of all mule deer species. Mature buck weights can vary based on location, but northern bucks commonly tip the scales at over 300 pounds. Decades ago, trophy mule deer were fairly common – but encroachment of whitetail and land fragmentation, to name a few, have made finding trophy deer more difficult. With that said, there are still areas that can produce record book deer of the Boone and Crockett minimum scores of 190 for typical and 235 for non-typical. In fact, at Legacy Outdoors we have a passion for HUGE mulies. So whether you are looking for a good representative mulie or one for the books, give us a call.
