A friend of mine has asked for some advice on units he should consider for a mule deer hunt in WY. He hasn't asked me because I have any real knowledge on the subject but because he knows I enjoy looking through the drawing odds and harvest data and looking at maps much more than he does.
Given his preference point situation, he could draw a tag in unit 34. I have read a bit on this site by doing a search and I think it might be what he is looking for. He is really just wanting a hunt for a decent buck. I don't know enough about scoring mule deer to talk scores, but while he would take a trophy, I don't think his sights are set on what most people on this forum consider a big mule deer. He is excellent physical condition, but does not have access to horses, so that is part of the reason I am thinking he should probably look at a limited draw area rather than putting in for Region G.
I will admit the type of hunt he is looking for is really similar to what I want to do in a few years. I don't have as many preference points as he does, or I would put in with him. If he goes out there and has success, I am going to tell him that my consulting fee is going to be his BLM map with notes of where he saw deer!
If anyone has any input of Area 34, I would sure appreciate hearing it.
Thanks!
