Hi guys,
I am new to the forum, and before I get off onto hunting discussion I want to introduce myself. My name is Brian, and I am from Birmingham, Alabama. I am married with two kids, and I am an electrical engineer with Honda Motor Company. I look forward to conversing with you guys.
Now that the formalities are out of the way let me get on with my questions.
My dad started me hunting Whitetails when I was barely old enough to walk. I have been hunting them for over twenty years, and I have literally taken dozens of them. Anyway, my dad and I were talking a few days ago, and he blurted out, "Hey, I would like to go mule deer hunting someday". You know what, so would I lol. So that's what brings me here. You know what they say....... if you want answers, then go ask the experts.
So here is what I am looking for.
I want to go mule deer hunting, but I am not really sure where to begin. Not sure which state I would want to give them a try in, so any help there would be appreciated. Also, I am not interested in a high dollar guided hunt. That to me is no fun. No offense to anyone who has the money and enjoys these type of hunts, but that's just not my thing. What I would like is to find a private tract of land that the landowner would accept a tresspass fee to let us hunt on his land for a few days. I have heard that public land is not the way to go, but you guys can correct me if I am wrong because I am the rookie in this discussion lol. As far as what I am looking for, it is the mule deer experience. I don't have to take a monster mulie to be satisfied, or even one at all. The trip with my dad will be the most important aspect of this. Now don't get me wrong, if he and I take a mulie, then that would be icing on the cake.
So I guess what I am asking is the old who, what, when, and where question. I have no idea how to get started on planning a trip like this, and if anyone has any suggestion, contacts, or ideas, they would be most appreciate.
Thanks in advance!
