RE: best state for muley hunt
Montana applications are due by March 15th too! Got to make some fast decisions! I would also look at Colorado. Apps have to be in by April 4th.
I hunted near Cody Wyoming a while back. Fairly easy draw and lots of decent deer. Not a real trophy area, but nice bucks. Just remember that you can only hunt in NON wilderness areas. You would need a guide or Wyoming resident to hunt in the wilderness.
Good luck
