MUle deer help

Are you wanting to come back to wyoming to try your luck, or are you planning to hunt a different state. i can give you a few recommendations for the state of wyoming. are you looking for quality or quantity. some areas are very easy for a non-resident to draw, and some areas are hard as heck but if you draw you will not be upset. MORE INFO PLEASE! i would be happy to give you any information that i may have.

Thanks for the reply, Now that you ask the question quantity or quality thats a tough one to answer. I would maybe have to say until we learn more of the area a middle of the road of both.

The problem we ran into is it seemed to appear that most good hunting was being done in the wilderness areas where non-resident hunters cannot access with out a guide.

We have been on guided hunts in Colorado and have been very succesful, but it is just not the same as being able to say we did it on our own.

We have been to the Big Horns a couple of times around Medicine mountain, Cone mountain and sheep mountain. I am not sure if you are familiar with this area or not.

As far as where we would like to hunt in Wyoming, depends on where the animals are and is pretty easy to draw a tag. You don't get much hunting in when you have to wait 3-4 years to pull a tag.

We did have some luck in the Big Horns, but nothing big. We seen more does and fawns than we did anything. It is tough to hunt out of state unless you have some good contacts. Biologists are some help but not the same as the people who hunt the field.

Thanks up front for any info you can/are willing to share. Don't want to squeeze into anyone's favorite hunting spot. Well shouldn't say don't want to but won't out of respect.

Thanks,

MN-Hnter,

i understand totally what you are trying to say. i am planning a hunt in montana next season and i have basically asked the same question to the montana crowd that you have asked. i would say another area that should not be too unbelievably hard to draw would be either region g or region h. those areas are around jackson hole, however i would have to say, without hunting these areas very much, i believe they are going to be alot like over in the big horns. too much wilderness! at least for a non resident without a guide. but you would see some excellent deer. another option is to try, i believe area 94 for a resident, i am not sure what region that falls into. but it is up on green mountain in southern wyoming. chances of drawing are good, i think 70% last i knew, my buddy from montana put in for it a few years ago. the think to keep in mind with this tag, you better be willing to hunt long and hard. there are good deer in this unit, however, they are much more fewer and farther between. but they do exist! there is another region, very southern wyoming, region J maybe, the medicine bow range, directly south of rawlins, and west of saratoga. another excellent area, here would probably be the most middle ground area i could suggest. plenty of permits and plenty of good deer to be had.
