Never been a mule chaser

Yellow River Hound ::wel to Muley MADNESS. Tell us all about yourself.

Never hunted that region of Wyoming.

There is national forrest and blm up there but remember a NON RESIDENT can not hunt in any wilderness area in Wyoming with out a outfitter or Resident guide and they enforce this. So if you;re hunting national forest make sure you have good maps and know where you are. Same goes for blm make sure you know where you are because corner crossing on blm in Wyoming is also ILLEGAL.

Yellow River Hound, ::wel to MuleyMadness. I hear WI has a lot of big whitetails?

Yeah we sure do:
I live in the northern part of the state and there are some real eye openers up here.
Right now I am concentrating on bear though. Our training season opens today and my partner just called to say he has one up already this morning. Crap. Well I get to go to work anyhow. #-o :>/

Season is coming up fast but the best book you probally could read before your first muley hunt would be Public land mulies by David Long a lot of great info in that book.

I second the idea of reading David Long's book. Mike Eastman also has a good book on hunting high country mule deer that is a good read as well.

I've never been to that area either but if I was headed there the first thing I would do is study the terrain through maps and Google Earth. I would then pick a few out of the way pockets that look like you could sit and glass a ton of country. The further you can get a way from a road the better. I would then be in one of those spots before the sun comes up and glass until my eyes hurt. After spotting a few deer you will begin to recognize the areas they tend to hang out. The more you spend looking, the easier it gets.

Good luck on your hunt.

Hey Guys:
Thanks for the book info. I think I will check both of them out. I have been looking at the google maps and I think I am zeroing in on unit 105. The unit borders Yellowstone to the west and the northern border is Montana. I am looking around the area of west of Clark. Looks kind of rugged? In mid october are the deer still in the high country in this part of the state?

You be best off to put a few calls into the Game and fish up in that region talk with e warden and ask lots of questions you be suprsied how much info you may or may not get.

The earlier you start the more likely they are to help you out.

I was in your shoes 2 years ago Iam a whitetail FREAK from northern Idaho I still do not give up my idaho tag for a big doumb muley lol j/k but I started hunting oregon and I always pay an out of state fee cause its addicting man I archery hunt but it goes about the same for a rifle hunt I approuch it just like whitetail hunting but a little diff. Instead of sitting a trail or a bedding area you do the same just from affar I dont know what the country is like but if your in open spaces (not thick pines) Just find a place and GLASS and dont skimp on the quality of optics you buy other wise you will have the worse headache in the world kinda like waking up on july 5th lol another thing is BE PICKEY whitetail hunting I might see 2-3 good bucks a day and only 1-2 shot opp. in a season mule deer hunting if your in the right place you will see 5-6 good bucks with 4 or 5 stalking opp. a day! Just be pickey and you will score an awesome buck exp. for a controlled hunt!

Good luck buddy and score a 10sign:
