Ok, ok, this podcast isn't really about bugling in Big Bucks, but Jason Phelps who is far more know for bugling elk as the owner of Phelps Game Calls joins me to talk about his passion for also chasing big Mule Deer. Jason is an all-around great hunter and spends a lot of time hunting mule deer. In this podcast, we talk about lessons learned in the last couple years as well as making the transition from a run and gun elk hunter to a more patient spot and stalk mule deer guy. Jason has had a been on a number of really great limited entry type tags as well as a number of grind-it-out OTC type tags. We talk a lot about various strategies and when those change. With my upcoming (hopefully) hunt in Colorado this year we talk about various strategies for dealing with crowds in a rut type hunt like Colorado's 3rd season.
