I am mostly a whitetail hunter. I pulled my first tag out west for mule deer. I am spending a lot of money to get out there, but am hunting public land and don't want to come home empty handed--I have checked out a few articles on stalking them:
http://www.bowhuntamerica.com/index....bedded-mulies/
http://www.bowhuntingmag.com/tactics/ambush_071907/
But I am not sure if this is the best way to go about it, and have done 99% of my deer hunting in a treestand. Does anyone have experience stalking mule deer? Do you recommend stalking for a midwest whitetail hunter, or stand hunting, I only have a couple days to scout my unit before the season. Any advice would be appreciated!

I am heading for Colorado. I've checked into the strategies and thanks for the article link, it was helpful. I have decided that the Spot and Stalk approach definately sounds like the best approach. I am heading out today and probably won't be able to post anymore for a week or so, but I appreciate the help fellas and I'll let you know how it goes when I return.

One thing I can tell you is once they start their four leg bounding/running (aka stotting) they are almost sure to be gone.
