This year I was fortunate enough to draw deer tags in Wyoming and Montana. I was originally planning to hunt in October but was forced to change to November, which I think turned out to be a good move as I could hunt the rut. I flew into Bozeman and headed down to Meeteetse. Second day hunting I had a whitetail that I was very happy with. After dropping off the head and skin for a euro mount and tanning I headed up to Montana for a mule deer hunt. Had my mulie within a few days of hunting days thanks to some amazing help from a hunttalker. Was a very cool hunt and enjoyed the walk in / pack out for a few miles. Spent the rest of my time scouting and even shooting a coyote which I am having tanned and the skull cleaned. Also did a quick visit to Yellowstone and watched wolves hunting elk and sheep, not people’s favourite topic I’m sure but cool watching predators at work.

Sorry, don’t know why the photos are sideways and can’t fix using my phone.

wow now that is a damn nice mule deer!

I want to do that same hunt so bad but the logistics intimidate me with vacation time and hunting buddies. Can't imagine planning it from NZ ha!
 
Congrats! Looks like one hell of a trip and one for the books. Good job making it happen! Do you have any pictures of the wolves? I didn't see any wolves when I was there unfortunately.
