MULE DEER CONSERVATION AREA (MDCA) Mule deer populations have declined in some units because of habitat conversion to row crops and brainworm disease. Nonresident demand for mule deer permits continues to increase. Permit demand for mule deer exceeds supply in the Frenchman and Platte units. In the MDCA: • Statewide archery permits are valid for mule deer and are available all season. • Statewide muzzleloader permits are not valid for mule deer.
