In for Wyoming.  Should be hunting mule deer in Region H this fall.

Yes washingtonmulie. A guide for huge antelope. Once in a lifetime type. Comparable in score to well over 200" mule deer.

No antelope is comparable to well over 200" mule deer . . .

Depends on the hunter. Some people are antelope freaks. Might be easier to find a 200" mule deer then a 90" lope.

I know a guy that has 10+ bull elk over 400", a couple 90" lopes, all free range, and not one 200" mule deer, and he spends thousands every year trying.

According to their website, seven mule deer over B&C 200 inches have been recorded as harvested in Montana, most recently in 2004 and 2005.

Two pronghorn over 90" have been recorded; they were from 1977 and 1990.

Craig. Yessir. You are correct. Huntinfool wr may know same guys. But even though they are hard to find, I personally believe most times those guys aren't keying always on the biggest mule deer. I spoke with an outfitter I know the other day with a 215+ guarantee.

[jjhunter]

Lol!

NWWA Hunter,
How big of an antelope are you expecting too get?  Or what is the minimum for you to pull the trigger?

[NWWA Hunter]

For minimum I will listen to the experts. I'm going for net book as a minimum but hoping for a mid 80's or larger. With their success rate of somewhere in a 85"+ average it should be doable.

[sirmissalot]

What unit are you hunting that has an 85" average? An 80" goat is a fricken dandy

im just buying a point this year

[Fishstiq]

I put in for my first out of state draw, New Mexico elk.  I have a buddy down there who goes in horseback and hunts 4-5 days, so if I draw I'll be going with him!!!   Draw is I think the 3rd week of April.

Edit*  Oops, didn't see the NM thread until just now.
