In an effort to help our subscribers, one of our goals, at the beginning of 2008, was to get a good start on a “Directory” of interest to the “Mule Deer Fanatic”. We have been inviting select businesses (sites) to submit their information to this directory. 
If you have, or know of, links that should be in the directory, let us know by accessing the “Contact” page. We will be happy to consider your request.

A recent newspaper article, from the Boise area, stated that the Idaho Game and Fish now estimates state-wide coyote numbers to be around 50,000. Is it any wonder that Idaho has so few mule deer? Idaho mule deer will need to look both ways – twice, before lowering their heads to eat or drink.
Never mind lions, wolves, and bears.
Maybe the wolves will kill the coyotes. I don’t think the mule deer will win, either way.
From North Dakota Game and Fish Department
— North Dakota’s mule deer population remains in good shape, based upon aerial observations during the state Game and Fish Department’s fall reproduction survey.
Bruce Stillings, big game biologist, Dickinson, said two primary indicators – ratio of fawns-per-doe, and bucks-per-doe – were near long-term averages. The fawn-to-doe ratio was .88 fawns per doe, and the buck-to-doe ratio was .42 bucks per doe.
Observers who accompanied pilots in fixed-wing planes 
counted 2,126 mule deer during the October survey, which encompassed 21 study areas and 265.5 square miles in western North Dakota. Each spring, biologists survey the same study areas to determine a population index.
Surveys continue to indicate a population with stable recruitment and good numbers of adult bucks, Stillings said. “The badlands mule deer population continues to move in the right direction.”
Arizona does not accept online or telephone applications, and you must have a license first – so hurry. June 10 is the deadline.

Buying a License Online or by Telephone
Hunting and fishing licenses are no longer available online or by telephone. The department suspended online and telephone sales on May 21, 2007 because it could not resolve concerns that its online and telephone service provider could adequately perform under its contract. The department apologizes for any inconvenience this may cause to our customers. We hope to offer license sales online and by telephone sometime in the future.

This Wyoming Rancher didn’t waste any time dealing with a problem:
—————————
This morning about 7:00 we were eating breakfast and Lora suddenly yelled “There’s a wolf in the yard!” Well, the next few seconds went pretty quick. I grabbed a rifle and cracked the door and stuck the muzzle out the door and bang we had one less wolf. Black male and weighed 93 pounds. Got him skinned and will plan to get the hide tanned. So that was the excitement for today.
Notice the difference in size
