Looking for Respectable Mule Deer Hunt

[Recon$$]

The manner of the hunt matters to me. One of many reasons I return to SD tag or no tag every year to pull the trigger or glass for someone.

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.

Most likely because it's all private land hunts? If you google public land mule deer hunting in Texas, it doesn't seem like a great option. Private land, it does seem like a solid option though for sure.

I understand. my comments were directed towards those hunters who are frustrated by the inability to get the right to hunt. I'm 77 and understand their frustration. Save some bucks, and come to Texas to fulfill your dream.

So what's the problem? There are many options for private land hunts in Texas
Especially for folks like me who don't have a lot of time left.

No offense but Texas deer are very tiny. Colorado mule deer can be consistently 30-33 inches in certain areas.

No problem, there's something for everyone. Texas is a good choice for some folks, less so for others.

You Sir are misinformed. This past season a 242 inch mule deer was taken on the ranch where i hunt.

Understand that. I hunt with a guy your age, enjoying the hunts while I can. Though, he's made it clear he's going shoot off his walker and make me do the hard work till the day he croaks.

I have to settle for this guy. When season starts he high tails it from the state park to buddy's family section which shares a fence line with the park.

We watched it at end of the season, on occasion he showed up this year. We figured out his travel path from park to the ranch.

For free, I can't complain, not as big as in other states, but I am taking it this year. That is if opportunity presents itself.

My point is that he deserves the right to hunt when he chooses. Not when the state tells him he can.

 

[Recon$$]

I'd shoot him for free any day. Mulies are my favorite game, just **** fun going after them.

High fence? They also have species from Africa. Not my thing. I can trap a mulie from Colorado and put it in Florida I spose. I also am not interested in shooting a GM freak.
