I've been thinking, actually that's a heck of a great way TOO shed hunt. Especially in CRP or any fields where the growth is some what high. Great idea and thanks for sharing.
This was the best of the day as it lays, I'd guess the deer would be about 130 inches. I have never snuck up on a deer while riding a mule during the day (coon hunting at night on a mule would be a different story). The shed hunting was in Defiance and Williams County but I live in central Ohio.
Had an ole boy from below Pittsburgh that swore by scouting deer on mules as he'd be able too get right on top of them and they wouldn't spook.... He was a pretty straight shooter on his experience....
