LAST EDITED ON Dec-01-12 AT 09:35AM (MST)[p]I looks like I am hunting Idaho 2013 for Mule deer. I am an Oregon native who after 30 years of hunitng my state I have decided to go east. I hope all you guys in Idaho understand why I want to hunt your state. Oregon just plain sucks for Mule deer hunting.
My first Mule deer hunt was in '97 after 5 days I ended up with a fork, 8 years later was a late muzzy hunt, 5 days = 22' 4point, 3 years later an earlier muzzy hunt, nothing. Now I have 4 pref points and I'm waiting for 2014 since 2013 season starts Sept 28th and ends Oct 9. So since '97 I've drawn 3 mule deer tags in my state and killed 2 deer. I am up to 4 Pref points now I don't want to waste 4 point 2013. Our Mule deer season in Oregon in 2013 starts Sept 28th and ends Oct 9th. I don't want to waste 4 PP on such an early hunt. We do not have OTC rifle hunts for Mule deer. So I usually hunt Blacktail, but I am tired of beating the brush for Blacktail.
So I have decided to try Idaho, your state seems 1000 times better than mine, I hope you don't mind my visit next year.
