muley research

Hi everyone,
I'm a midwest whitetail hunter with limited muley experience. I know that this is a ways out but I'm looking for the best place to hunt big mulies. So far I have 1 point for both Colorado and Wyoming and am planning this hunt for 2015. I plan on spending somewhere between 3k-6k, but am looking for my best opportunity at a 175" plus. Any suggestions.
Thanks

Why not? spend ?1500 per trip and go every year. :thumb
When you talk about spending 3-6K you must be thinking guided?
I suppose going with a hard to draw area with a guide would give you the best chance at a 175 class muley.
Best bet would be to get on a ranch with some good deer management for trophies. Spending 6 K
I think would get you into some good stuff.

Hi Wayne,
Thanks for the response! I've been on a lot of low budget trips with ok success. Living in Wisconsin with two small children makes it difficult to do an adequate amount of scouting. The deal that I worked out with my wife is that I can take a high dollar trip every five years. This year is Idaho elk and mulies. I'm just looking for some of the best trophy areas and I will research them one I find the right area. From most of the outfitters that I've talked to they all advise to start building points.
Thanks again!

With that sort of money available buy a landowner voucher in one of the premium units in Colorado and hunt for several years in a row. Unit 61, 10,21,30. Check these out.

There are opportunities to hunt out west for mule deer every year in Colorado and Wyoming on public ground with 0-1 point and also 2nd choice tags. Do some research pick a unit that you can consistently draw and spend the time learning it, read public land mulies by david Long and try to learn as much as you can about the area you will be hunting. There are also private land tresspass fee hunts available in Colorado and Wyoming just do some research to find what you are looking for.

Now if you plan on going guided I would reccomend Jim Freeburn's operation in Wyoming www.triplecreekhunts.com Jim is a great guy with a outstanding reputation you will not be disappointed.

For Colorado Scott Limmer may be the best outfitter in the state when it comes to consistently taking huge mule deer bucks,
