"Looking for a mule deer - Terry ? (Connellsville, PA)
Posted 04/05/2004
I am searching for a Northern raised muley. I haven't been able to locate a web site dealing with mule deer sales, so I figured I would put an ad on this site. If you know of anybody who has any for sale around PA, please notify me ASAP. Thank you"

LOL.....I guess it's cheaper than paying for a guide service! Raise it till it fits your Trophy needs, knock it over, and mount it!

Just kidding.

I BELIEVE you must own a license to raise deer, especially if they are not native to that area (This guy apparently lives in PA). I could be way off base on this though. I have known two different people who picked up fawns after the mother was killed (Vehicle strikes) and raised them but they both lived in the country and the deer were free to roam in and out of thier property. Not sure how it works if you plan on pen raising them ( Selling sperm for stock, etc).

Huh,

Sounds pretty funny.

I know that in other states (missouri) they have permits to raise whitetail deer, on "deer farms". I have seen a couple of them. I haven't ever heard of somebody wanting to buy a mule deer!

Interesting.

I guess I'll go and try to rope one! :D

License or permit, I think we're thinking along the same lines awk.

I can see it now, some dumbs*** out there trying to put a rope around one to sell later on. I'd pay money just to watch that! I wouldn't put it past some of the guys I grew up with in boonies of SE WA though (no offense to those of you from there. After all, so am I)

lol ya ropin wild mule deer, wouldn't that be fun. I know when the dwr gets wounded deer and animals there is the recovery homes where they bring them to and maybe you could take one of those lol. I say for the person lookin to buy one should really just go out and hunt their own trophy or buy a dog if they want a pet. Because we don't want the mulies to end up like whitetails and be all on "deer farms" eatin out of the deer feeders and for us just to sit there and shoot whatever trophy comes up and decides to eat out of the deer feeder or hay field lol. no affense to all you whitetail hunters out there but to me it just dont seem like huntin but anyhow theres a diff story in itself.

i don't know, i have seen crazier sh*& than that before here in wyoming. have you guys ever seen a elk ranch. talk about depressing, you know those poor animals are just sitting there thinking, man what did i do to deserve this.lol. but one the other hand there is this rancher north of my home town that had a family of deer, honestly, that lived at his house. these three deer were not caged and allowed to come and go as they pleased but they stayed right in his front yard with the ranch dogs and stray cats and everyother critter that was hangin out at this dudes house. i live in jackson and there are moose, elk, deer, you name it they are here that pretty much live in city limits, in fact this fall there was a bear cub that had woke up from hiernation and wandered in to town that had to be relocated, but these three deer on this guys ranch was a sight that i will never forget. they were seriously like pets and they liked it. however, anyone that wants to raise a deer for the sake of shooting it later and calling it a trophy, i say get off your dead a$% and go hunting, as that is the best part of hunting season, just being in the field.
