Next Fall Modern Rifle Mule Deer Hunt?

Edited for tone-

If you really want to make it happen for him, a guided hunt isn't all that expensive considering the timeframe you're looking at.  What you're asking for in terms of an easy hunt for mule deer has an extremely low chance of success.

Rob,

Take him down the Klick, or some other river to the east. There are plenty of deer, he won't have to work hard. You just need to do some HW to determine what's public vs private.

Or has been said, take him to MT and hunt vs trout fish.

I dont know if you can, but try talking to a guide now, getting a price locked in for him to shoot a deer and you to shoot a camera, and put a little money away every month from now till hunting season.  I think the cost of a guided hunt in this scenario would be the way to go, and its probably not much more than what you are going to spend on an 8 or 9 night trip with a cabin.  Public land mule deer hunting in an area you arent familiar with, and can't scout much will leave you very frustrated.  Good Luck!
