I will not be back for the rifle hunt. I considered it, but it’s just not really my thing.

I really enjoyed the time with the outfitter, they put the effort in and I had great accommodations and fresh horses each day. Was a bit harder with the lack of animals, but that was out of everyone’s control. I would definitely go back out with them.

It’s funny how it somewhat happened like that with whitetail hunting in my area. When I started in the early 2000s we would see several deer on every outing. Now you’re lucky to see two or three per hunt…I guess that’s why for me, as bad as the deer numbers were, I still felt like I saw an okay...

Appreciate that and thank you. I’m sure I spent over $10k between the hunt, the gear I bought and rented, flights, hotels and rental cars to get out there. I’m with you on not killing one just to justify the cost. This was my 3rd outfitted hunt ever and I’ve never killed anything on an...

I went with Double Diamond Outfitters, it was a great time. Feel free to PM me and I’d be happy to share more.

This is my first post on here and wanted to share my experience on the last 10 days chasing mule deer in Region H. This was my first western hunt and I spoke with the local biologist, read up on several forums including this one and felt like my gear was on point (outside of not bringing a pair...

I’ll be in H as well with an outfitter for my first mule deer hunt. Looking forward to the adventure.
