Jake, I haven’t Mule Deer hunted in WY in almost 30 years. The area I’m in near Sheridan is mainly whitetails. I will say the Mule Deer population in WY is rebounding from the big winter kill, but needs a few more years to be back where it once was.

It started beginning of Oct with an elk hunt in Wyoming. The first afternoon we saw 15 bulls and called in four 6x6s to 20 yards. It was a thrill to see screaming bulls so close. The next day was a little slower, but still saw 10 smaller bulls by noon. Saw another 10 bulls in the afternoon including a big 6x6 we decided to go after. Called him into to 80 yards and killed him with my 300WM. He had 11” bases and gross scored 339”

Last week of October I went to southern Colorado to hunt Mule Deer with my buddy. We looked over 126 bucks trying to find a huge mid 180s buck he had seen in the summer. Never did turn him up. Morning of the 5th day I killed beautiful 6x6 (including brows) that gross scored 154”. Shot him at 30 yards with my 300WM.

Finally I bow hunted in central Kansas the second week of Nov. It was really windy the first couple of days and then warmed up into the 70s. I saw several young bucks, and on the fourth day a mid 130s 8pt and a 140” 10pt but no shot opportunity. I finally connected on a wide 8pt at 27 yards. He gross scored 122”, had 23” main beams, and an 18.75” inside spread.
