I wonder how he got here?

Mule Deer taken in WI

I've heard plenty of stories how white-tailed deer are pushing out mule deer in some Western states. This is the first time I've heard of a mule deer this far in white tail country.

Thats really odd...I've never heard of someone even seeing a mule deer here let alone shoot one!

any game farms in WI with mule deer?

Can you say

"DEER FARM"

Hope they did not import anything bad with him and the others they likely brought in.

I have heard of them in the western part of Wi.in Coulee Country.Not much different from the Missouri breaks.

I'm not aware of any...FWIW.

We have quite a few Mt lion sightings in Wisconsin as well...10 years ago no one would of believed it but times have changed so I'm not as skeptical as I used to be about these things

I saw a mulie in a hay meadow in MO once. Had to turn around and double check but that's what it was. I think some deer are just wanderers and sort of keep on walking.

I also saw and killed a whitetail buck along the CO river near Kremmling, CO once and that is quite aways from where they normally occur in that states as well as on the other side of the continental divide. I took it to the DOW office in Hot Sulphur Springs and they had never heard of one from that area before.

I can remember 20 plus years ago seeing mule deer on the Minnesota North Dakota border.

These things happen, been happening all along..Maybe someone dumped their pet deer. Several bears been dumped in the Big bend of Texas over the years. Sometimes animals travel a long ways for varios reasons, We get Moose in Twin Falls from time to time. Cowboys love to rope animals then haul them to various places for the fun of it..Been there done that maybe! Then we have the cross breds that show up all the time.
