What state would you pick to hunt for a monster Mullie buck?

Was that buck a NT?? A fairly nice NT? The Muzzy Buck?

And for when the question gets asked..... The state was all for shooting them on the place. The nature conservancy is responsible for putting the brakes on it.

Wasn't NT, pretty sure they drew FC the first year though, hopefully he'll put up some pics.

Gotchya. The buck I am referencing was from year 3 I believe. Which was also the last Muley buck to be taken off the place.

Lots of interesting post which leaves me with a lot to consider. Maybe I can twist this around and tell the wife, I can't afford Mexico, maybe a nice guided out of state hunt is needed. Then I'll be able to kill that huge mule deer buck and scratch it off my bucket list. NW New Mexico isnt that far of drive either.. But I do have family in Wyoming and Idaho, may need to visit some lost kinfolk as I know some of them hunt.

I'd pick Wyoming out of those two. Idaho is good in certain areas, but the wolves have been hell on the deer and elk herds out there.

You will need to draw a NM tag is the only catch. Unless you are hunting on private land in a unit that allows over the counter private land tags. My suggestion would be to start putting in for a unit in Colorado that requires 4 points or so and put in for NM in the meantime. That way you are guaranteed to draw a pretty decent unit in 4 years and could possibly draw tags in NM while aquiring points in CO.

On year number 3 this year I think and for elk as well.

Totally not worth it. Dinkville. Bunch of sporks and mature spikes running around there.

Yep ...... I am definitely putting in for this hunt every year

Your absolutely right on the wolves, just watched a show about it....wildlife biologist was calling it zero survival referring to the explosion in the wolf population and the extreme reduction in the mule deer and elk herds in Idaho, Utah, and Montana....and soon to be headed towards any other State that has a soon to be extinct sustainable population of those animals, including Moose in those states as well. On the bright side, Wildearth Guardians reports that the wolf population in the US is safe for now and growing! Thank God they say! We made a difference..... Fkn MORONS.

I visit with a couple of guys regularly on a trapping forum from MN and they've got a wolf problems as well. Trapping them looks pretty interesting.
