    Regions T and J

    Although my 2023 hunt is over - I’m looking at 2025 for a hunt in Region J or T for Antelope or Mulies. Wondering how they faired down in that area with this past winter?

    Looking for outfitter recommendations

    Thanks! I will look at the CPW page. I also see some outfitters listed at the bottom of this page which must support this website. U2H seems to have some reasonable hunts listed. Hoping to get some feedback for these guys and/or other recommendations from others on here.

    Looking for outfitter recommendations

    Thanks. I forgot that CO offers land owners vouchers. This will probably be my best bet. Unfortunately I don’t have any buddies who are that interested in hunting out west so I’d be coming out alone and prefer to then hunt with a guide. Kinda sucks as I’d love to diy but going out there...

    Looking for outfitter recommendations

    Looking for Mule Deer and/or Antelope. Don’t have many points yet. 2 points each so far and looking for a 2025 or so hunt so I’ll have 3-4 points by then.

    First time Wyoming hunt

    Mostly private land in 22. You’re going to have a lot of company on the public. Best find a guide.

    Casper area winterkill

    North and west of Casper I believe. He didn’t have me apply yet. Waits until mid May. We were talking about applying for Unit 22 as I have some points and he thought I could draw there. Not 100% sure what other units he guides in though but I know he guides in several.

    Casper area winterkill

    Just wondering how bad it was in the Casper area? Have a hunt booked with an outfitter. Sounds like I may be facing a big disappointment for my first Mule deer hunt.

    My 60 antelope

    Congrats! That’s one of the prettiest Antelope I’ve ever seen! It looks like they’re taking some really nice bucks this year. I may have to book a hunt with them.

    200" Bucks & 400" Bulls

    Shoot whatever makes you happy. Whether you are a meat hunter or trophy hunter. Just respect what you take. Guys that “settle” for an animal and ***** well, are bitches. If you’re not going to be happy with it let it walk.

    Out of box most accurate hunting rifle.

    It’s the First Lite Cipher edition and in 6.5 PRC. I was a little concerned after getting this rifle as I’ve read on several other forums that guys are having problems with 6.5 and 300 PRC’s that reload once their brass gets 3 or 4 firings due to the chambers being too tight. There is a fix...

    Out of box most accurate hunting rifle.

    A lot of guys like Tikka’s however I just didn’t like the feel. I highly recommend Bergara. I have an HMR Pro which is more of a target and Varmint rifle for me though and shoots 1/4”-3/8” consistently with factory ammo an sub 1/4” with handloads. Best group I’ve shot with that rifle is...

    2023 Mule Deer Hunt advice

    Thanks. I was mostly concerned with the EHD and then the drought having terminal effects on the older bucks affecting numbers/herd size and not necessarily antler growth. Funny you mentioned that though. I have a 167” Whitetail that I took 17 years ago. It was during a dry year. We had him...

    2023 Mule Deer Hunt advice

    I just hunted with him once this past Oct.. I shot a nice (not a monster but I’m happy) Antelope buck the first morning with him. 70-1/8”. We saw some Mule deer that morning and 2 really nice 160-170” bucks minutes before I got my Antelope. Wish I had a deer tag!!! So, I know they’re there...

    2023 Mule Deer Hunt advice

    I just emailed the outfitter. He’s cut the number of hunts and said with 4 points I should have 100% odds of drawing a good limited entry tag for one of his ranches. Sounds like he’s doing the right thing and I have good odds. I think I’m gonna go back to WY and hunt with him.

    2023 Mule Deer Hunt advice

    I am keeping in touch with him and will reach out to him after the new year. I’d definitely hunt with him again but just wasn’t sure 2023 would be the best year to do that. I probably will go hunt with him then though. Although it was my first hunt out west I’ve done several waterfowl hunts...

    2023 Mule Deer Hunt advice

    Thanks for your advice. I’m just looking to see what other options there are. I’m thinking that I will most likely go back to WY with the same outfitter. I’m pretty sure he’d give me an honest answer too as to what to expect and how the deer herd is looking. I do know they had 100% success...

    2023 Mule Deer Hunt advice

    I’m assuming that was generals? Thanks. I did see a 160-170 while Antelope hunting in WY this past season. Really wish I had a deer tag. I know the area I hunted has nice deer but after this drought and EHD I’m just worried about the number of mature bucks 2 years from now. The outfitter...

    I’m wanting to plan a rifle Mule Deer hunt for 2023 and was hoping to hunt WY. I just hunted Antelope in WY this past season and have an outfitter that I really like as well as will have 4 PP’s going into 2023. However with drought and EHD I’m a little bit concerned about hunting WY at that...

    First Pronghorn

    Although I intend to hint Mule Deer and Elk, I feel that I will do a lot of Antelope hunting!

    First Pronghorn

    Yeah, a little more than needed but it’s meant to be a multi purpose rifle - Mulies and Elk as well. Can’t be too dead though.
