Best mule deer state?

[Petem2995]

What are the best mule deer states to hunt for a nonresident?

 

[chuckyd313]

Nevada or Utah?

 

[FAIR CHASE]

That depends............ what is your goal? Need more info.

 

[Petem2995]

The goal is to shoot a nice mule deer for as cheap as possible. Not looking to spend a fortune and shoot a record book buck. I have never shot a muley and I'd love to shoot even an average one. .

Colorado

"Average" in Colorado is "big" in many other states. Lots of good mule deer units in CO.

Ok. What are your physical abilities?

I find it interesting how anyone could answer this question without knowing a bit more about the OP.

With limited info provided, an option would be eastern Montana and get a block management booklet for region 7.

 

[Petem2995]

Physical abilities we are 18 and 20 and we are both in good shape that won't be an issue for us.

Good, now CO (not eastern) is an option.

Oak and Spitz are the only ones who can shoot mule deer in CO...everyone else who tries is shit out of luck

CO, but I may be a little biased...lol. I shot a forkie two Sundays ago that was well over 200lbs. They grow em big here....Start building points next year! You can get a decent tag with 2 or 3 pts as a NR.

Idaho can hold it's own also. Don't let these guys smoke you. We would gladly accept NR money. Plus, somebody could/would help set up a camp or loan you such.

OP, was the above helpful? LOL.

Glad am I not in a position needing to ask such a question on this board.
