Team Harvest, i will definately add that outfitter to the list! What dates did you guys go? Early or a rut hunt?
for mulies in CO as a Nonres, I think with 2 pts you can draw any tag. None the less though CO has so many tags for rifle and bow etc...that I think you could hunt CO your first year without pts etc...you'll just have to check the regs and do some research. buying a landowner tag might be one route to go, as you can hunt private land, and get a tag without any pts, and hunt one of the better units, though I'm sure the better units cost more, also a better unit and season costs more, ie a later or earlier season...there really are so many units, i'd check out eastmans or huntinfool for specifics, at least a good place to start your research...
I must say ive yet to hunt mulies in CO, have been wanting to witha bow for a few years now but other hunts etc... have taken priorities, so all I really know is what my research has shown and that is that CO is really one of the only states where mule deer are doing well out west, most states are not in their prime when it comes to mulies these days.
If you just want to shoot a mulie buck and or does, check out SE Montana! i've never seen so many deer in my life! but know that a 4x4 is a good/great buck for the region don't be expecting 180" bucks. If you go there, do your part and get about 5 doe tags a piece and have at them!
