Never been out west, but I have put Mule Deer on the top of the list. I am looking at South Dakota, Wyoming and Colorado for states to hunt.
I am leaning toward South Dakota because it seems easy to get a tag, the terrain is not as daunting and cheaper.
I am not a "trophy" hunter, just want an opportunity to hunt. I should also say I will be bow hunting.
I am working on my physical conditioning, map work, extending my archery range and upgrading gear.
I'm going to stick to public land, just something about doing it DIY. I am looking at it as a learning experience and adventure. Once I gain some knowledge then I will expand my expectations.
What were some of the lessons you learned from your first few times? What are some general things I should be thinking about and working on?
