[QUOTE="shorthairman, post: 230922, member: 6223"] Patterning mule deer is definitely not the same as patterning whitetails. I grew up hunting mostly mule deer and have since moved to whitetail country. I can sit on a trail and as long as conditions are similar (nothing bumps them from bedding areas for example) whitetail move like clockwork around feeding areas for the most part. However, if you are not hunting a food source for mule deer (like db's "green stuff") patterning them is much more difficult. Like many have said, I feel they have more of a home "area" than a particular trail that they regularly use. I hunted the Sandhills of western NE and if we didn't chase them out, the mule deer would stay in the same range of hills, but setting up to intercept one on a trail with a bow had more to do with luck I would say. I also agree with db's sit for 3 days and observe from good vantage points. Bfishn and db- Coaching is a job or part of a job and if you are not good at your job you get fired, so yes, most coaches do take their sport very seriously. Also, most coaches are very passionate about the sport they coach and they put in a lot of time and effort into improving themselves so their team has the best chance to have success.
