i live in sw.va. and never hunted anything besides whitetail but really want a nice mule deer.what im looking for is a state where i can just buy a license over the counter and hunt without paying out the wazoo for a outfitter!
i realize a outfitter would up my chances but id rather hunt them instead of being shown what to shoot...maybe a semi guided but i wanna work for the animal.any suggestions?
I started going to Colrado in 1984 when you could buy doe & buck mule deer & bull elk tags over the counter never went to an outfitter for deer most just drove in Colorado from all over the nation to hunt.Do google searches for Oregon,Wyoming Colorado.Utah,Idaho,ETC
I would like to suggest a trip to Wyoming for mule deer. Over fifty percent of the
state is public land so access isn't a problem. Licenses may be purchased over
the counter or on-line. Depending on your age you might need proof of having
taken a hunter safety course. Here is a link to the Wyoming Game and Fish
Department's nonresident hunter information page;
