The communication staff of the Mule Deer Foundation partnered with our conservation experts in the field to test seven different packs built for hunting to see which held up the best in which environment and which was our overall favorite and pick as the best packs for mule deer hunting.

December has come again. The season started with such promise, full of aspirations for massive antlers fitting perfectly in the empty space on the wall. A winter of deer steaks and chili enjoyed while retelling the story of conquest, of trials and tribulations that lead to the meal before you.

These stable positions will be nearly impossible during a western hunt due to terrain and the speed at which opportunities often happen. With that in mind, here are three positions you should practice shooting with and why:
