Some folks on this site have the same sense of humor as a potato. Be careful and don’t toss good sarcasm and pithy comments before the masses.

Replies like some here are why I think ill nit share any more hunts. Not worth it, not really

I was trying to share an experience and .... I think it means way more to me than others.

Thanks for the positive comments all, yall have a good hunting season

Im pretty sure they didnt actually mean anything by it. Dont stop posting, I like to read about it, and see pics from cool places I hope to hunt someday

Another option 4point, people who see antlers at my house, who ask, are told those are Key deer from florida and are "toads".

 

[stealthycat]

I hope you know my post was meant as a diss on myself more than you

actually no, it doesn't come across that way anymore for me

I enjoyed reading it as well. Takes a little effort to write it up and post the pics. Appreciated.

I enjoy your posts, stealthy. Really like the area pics too. Keep them coming👍

Read again, how else could it be interpreted 😁

I have no problem with you, hell I’ve met you and enjoyed the visit. Don’t throw out the baby with the bath water

I like the cliffhanger drama. I paid for the whole seat, and only used the edge….

I was hoping he got a Mulie.

I was hoping he got a Mulie.

I was too

I'm 56 ... I've killed a lot of game animals. I've killed a couple of muley bucks but nothing special. I've had two golden chances, one was a high country rifle tag in Colorado back in the day that I should have spend 2 weeks vs 1 hunting it and another a western Kansas muley tag where I was hunting a big special whitetail buck and didn't spend time muley hunting.

The group of 8 we chased day 1 and day 2 ... 1 3x3 was a dandy desert muley and the 4x4 in the group was nice too, either I'd have been happy with. That was the only group with a big muley he'd found and so we switched to water holes. Even the spotting we did, it was mostly coues we found, muley does ... no big muley bucks

maybe 2026 I'll find someplace to mule deer hunt and go and finally get one

I'm thinking bout trying to find one myself in 2026, a muley buck has been at top of my list for nearly 20 years.

I have never killed one, but looking for a place to go pretty soon before I get too old.

its hard to find a trespass fee type hunt which would be ideal IMO

that leaves public lands out west but, tags are harder and harder to get and mule deer decline in the past decade is real

$5000-7500 will get a good mule deer hunt - I'm cheap, I don't want to pay that. Id not have done this hunt had it not been a BOGO type deal with my buddy.

you can get a FCFS tag in November .... you can plan a DIY hunt, it just takes time/effort and then the hunting itself too takes a lot of time/effort

I think it could be done, no idea what % chance of success , that all depends on the hunter .... but there is vast public lands out there

Like Stealthy said, good Muley tags are getting hard to draw. If you had been putting in for AZ those 20 years, you’d be close to an AZ strip tag (where buck in my avatar was taken) and probably could have already got a Kaiban tag.

 

[pirogue]

Misspelled it, should be Kaibab.

Yeah I've been researching and will be doing DIY, I'm cheap as well lol. I know I should of done it years ago when point creep wasn't as bad, better muley population density, etc...
