Somewhere along the Texas and Mew Mexico State lines there lies a grey area of hope and despair for many big game hunters. Doused in private farmlands and sandy terrains covered in Shinery Oaks there lays some absolute bohemoths of Muleys. But.. they’re not for the faint of heart, in fact; if the only way you can learn how to hunt is by watching others you may be better off going 5 hours east and chasing whitetail, or 5 hours west and glassing a mountainous escarpment. This is the area where a ‘hunters hunter’ goes to succeed and learn the tricks and tales that are often passed along to close friends and kept secret for many years to come. Although the border muleys are a lazy animal, it only increases the level of difficulty to harvest one of these mature monsters. I’ve had the privilege of chasing elk from Montana, Wyoming, Colorado and New Mexico, and Mule deer in all those besides Montana as well and I can say that the border Muley is truly an animal that tested my capabilities and made me a much better hunter. The closest thing I can compare it to is that those deer “tested my ability to learn” when out of my comfort zone. Lastly, happy hunting gentlemen - I wish everyone a wonderful season and take some time out to appreciate the sunset plenty this year, we’re never guaranteed another season…
