Looking for Respectable Mule Deer Hunt

[hesse]

If it was me I would be looking in the North West area of Nebraska. The other question is how deep are your pockets and how much do you want to spend

I shot a 170 mulie in the Sandhills of Nebraska a few years back for $1500. I just checked though and the outfitter isn't doing hunts anymore.

Too bad. Nice muley at a relatively inexpensive price. Us retired folks can't spend what working folks can. I've found once you reveal a price range, everyone offers hunts at the very top of it. I've been quoted as high as $15,000 and I'm not spending that. If I could find a hunt for respectable mulies around $5000, my son and I would book one. May have to wait for the economy to get tougher. Under this admin, it certainly wil!

Age is a factor also for some. Health issues can limit the type of mule deer hunt you can handle. Even with horses it can still be very tough. I don't know your fitness level but if you book a hunt be up front with the outfitter.

I'm sitting on 5pts. With deer and antelope in Wy. Just found out I have ALS so those hunts may just be a bucket list now.

I hope you or anybody that is looking for there dream hunt finds it. Keep us updated on your search and hunt. Good Luck and God Bless

AZ Commissioners Mule Deer tags went gor $675k and $625k this year, IIRC. 2023 went for $750k and $902k.

Next year, there will be only one, and it will be the last one until AZGFD reinstates the Commissioners Tag program. I can see it going for $750k+.

There is Antelope Island in Salt Lake, UT. Land of giants. But again, 2023 tag went for $500k.

Tiburon Island in Mexico will "only" run you around $50-75k. I know a guy that went last year. He had his hunt videoed with Stone Glacier. Can't wait to see the video. He took a stud.

I guess I'll keep hunting my non record book critters, I have a ton of fun and I don't have to sell the right lobe of my liver and left cornea to afford it.

Really disgusting that it's come to that.

Yep....but the best of the best you need to swim through the great white infested waters......to the island......

Not many big mulies on the island

The AZ Commissioners tags fees went 100% to Mule Deer habitat. $0 went to AZGFD coffers. So I disagree with that statement. It was a HUGE benefit to AZ wildlife of all kinds. Unless you mean the fact that AZGFD has done away with the auction tags. Then I agree.

As for the Mexico and Antelope Island funds, I can't say I know where any of that goes.

To each their own. Obscenely Rich people taking over everything is getting a bit old for me personally though. We should be able to do something better for mule deer habitat than depend on rich people buying $500k+ tags.

Arizona White Mountain Apache Tribe offers both Mule Deer and Elk guided hunts. The Elk hunts are highly sought after for trophy racks. The Mule Deer hunts are little more sedately priced for the racks you seek.

Enjoy but do some searching!

Utah Elk BOW tags have sky rocketed too. A rich man's sport now.

Not sure why people hunt mule deer in states that require draws or purchasing tags. Research Texas mule deer hunting options. I'm not sure why people spend money trying to get tags, when they could save that money towards a free range Texas hunt.
