Being from Iowa ive been a whitetail hunter and a variety of other critters my whole life as you can see from avatar. Im mid 20s and in good shape love to walk and tool around in the woods. Not afraid of leaving camp in the morning in the dark and getting home in the dark. Had my first successful DIY antelope hunt this year in WY after only 9 miles on the boots (Was amazed and disgusted at the amount of truck hunters ) . The next step in my step in my DIY quest is Mule deer then followed by Elk. Would love to hunt all every year but like others on here Im just an average joe and have a job and expenses back home that leads my next step as chasing a muley.
Im Not looking for a handout or GPS coordinates or anything like that , but looking for a place to start on the map. Ive got 4 points in SD, 1 in WY but from what Ive read the last SD winter was rough on the herd and WY seems like they are also hurting in the population department ? Where else is there to go or the directions that one might look ? Im not even sure I know what Muleys like better as far as terrain, big vast timber or wooded draws in the open country - seems like to me in my limited exposure Ive seen them in both.
Thanks for any input in the thread. Love this forum since I found it and Newbergs way of hunting!
