Trophy Mule DEER HUNT IN 2008 for Senior Citizen

bullmania · Jul 11, 2008

I have a friend of mine who is 70 this year and wants to go on a trophy mule deer hunt he is looking for an opportunity to harvest a 200 inch buck ,he is getting up in age and wants to do it this year if he can ,please give me some referrals to only reputable outfitters with guranteed tags .
The hunt can be in any state rifle or muzzleloader only.

Thanks and Safe hunting

How deep are his pockets? Since all the drawings are done, you are looking at purchasing a landowener tag for a hard to draw unit or hunting a private ranch with landowner tags. And there are people paying $10,000 who don't get a shot at a 200 buck. I think he should have a goal that high, but if that is all he will take, he may be dissapointed. Sorry, I can't help you with specifics, I am sure there are others that can, but get ready to pull out the checkbook.

I Know he expects to pay top dollar, as that is not a problem

just doesnt want to go on average hunt again and be dissapointed.

Thanks

I doubt there are any openings for our trophy mule deer hunts for this season, we usually have a 2-3 year waiting.
But give Kim or Trevor a call and see if there are any cancellations you may get in on.
We have several leases with this caliber of deer on them, but NEVER go expecting to bring one home.....your paying for an "opportunity" only.

If slam can't help you I would second the Sanora suggestion. They really are killing some nice muleys down there.

It's always an adventure!!!

A reputable outfitter in Sonora would be my rec also. Odds of a 200" mule deer are slim anywhere, but better in Sonora than anywhere I know of. I've been there twice and killed a net 205" typical myself.

Contact Wes Atkinson (link below). He offers a great private land hunt just north of Ft. Collins, Colo. A 200" buck is possible, but one between 180 and 200 is morwe likely.

Also, see this thread for a few bucks killed last year.

LAST EDITED ON Jul-16-08 AT 04:03PM (MST)[p]Call Lee McNary at Alberta River Valley Lodge and check out his website/gallery at www.rivervalleylodge.com.

His hunters took a 226 and 218 non typical last year and a couple at 200. I took a 191 with a 11" droptine and seen four toads afterwords that broke 200".
