A Cross-Border Challenge: Canada’s Mule Deer

Written by Trevor J Hubbs on . Posted in Education & Outreach, Stories & Member Voices, Uncategorized.

A friend of mine and I are considering a Canadian mule deer hunt in 2026. Maybe 2027. While in the planning process I thought I would do some research on what the Canadian mule deer population looks like and what steps are being taken to improve it. By the time I was done I had the makings of a nice little blog post that I thought some of you may be interested in so please if you are considering a cross-border mule deer hunt anytime in the near future keep reading. If hunting mule deer in Canada has never crossed her mind please used anyway because knowledge is power.

The Economic & Cultural Value of Mule Deer

Written by Trevor J Hubbs on . Posted in Stories & Member Voices, Strategy, Priorities & Organizational Vision, Uncategorized.

Mule deer are far more than a symbol of the American West, they are a cornerstone of rural economies, a source of cultural identity, and a driver of outdoor recreation that keeps communities vibrant. Whether it’s non-resident hunters fueling small-town businesses in November or families pulling off scenic highways to photograph bucks in velvet, the presence of mule deer creates ripple effects that reach far beyond the sagebrush.

Late-Season Mule Deer Hunts: Weather as Ally and an Enemy

Written by Trevor J Hubbs on . Posted in Stories & Member Voices, Uncategorized.

Late-season mule deer hunting offers a unique blend of challenge and opportunity. As November fades into December and winter settles over the West, hunters face both the beauty and the brutality of cold-weather conditions. Snow, wind, and freezing temperatures make access difficult, but they also reveal the habits and patterns of mule deer in ways that earlier seasons cannot. Understanding the dual role of weather is key to a successful late-season hunt.
