My name is Mike, I am interested in hunting mule deer in 2011 with a party of four, my dad, brother and girlfriend. Our budget is going to be in the $2500-$3000 per person range. I would consider us on the higher end of hunting and outdoor experience however I'm realize there is quite a difference between deer and elk hunting that we participate in every year in California and central Oregon. I would be open to a semi-guided or a guided hunt, but kind of wary to a self-guided hunt because I've never hunted any other states. I realize that our budget will not allow us to take four 35? bucks but I'm looking for a quality opportunity. Our physical ability would be average but my dad is 65 with no physical problems what so ever, but would not be able to do an extreme back-packing trip. We have owned horses and would be open to a pack-in hunt or a hunt which uses horses daily. We will be driving out and do own a couple wall tents and equipment, or we have RV?s we could bring. I have done a pretty good amount of reading about the different states, and I'm not real excited about the impact of wolves in Idaho and Wyoming. We also do not have any points in any states except Oregon. Utah seems to have my interest peaked the most at this time but no part of our trip is absolutely set. Any opinions, direction, help, or information would be appreciated. Thanks
