I know little to nothing about mule deer. Killed my first in the sandhills of Nebraska this year. My question is what species or sub did I kill? It'll help give me a goal.
thanks in advance

If it was a Mule deer it was Odocoileus Hemionus. As far as any subspecies, I'm not aware of any in that region. There are a few sub-species on the west coast, but those are the only Mule deer sub-species that I know of. If you are looking for a tough challenge, head out to California or Oregon and chase Blacktails around in the coastal forest.----------SS

i second the blacktail idea. those little critters are hard to get. I hunted in washington this year and got a goose egg.
