Looking into a Quality deer hunt not in washington in 2018

[jackelope]

If you just want to kill a big deer go to Alberta with one of the top outfitters.

If you want to hunt big deer, buy a CO landowner voucher and go hunt.

That's a good way of putting it. What do you want out of the experience?

Low success rate on big bucks.  You need to spend a lot of cash for the best hunts//ranches.

I heard Antelope islands pretty good

Colorado if you are looking for biggest mule deer potential

Alberta

That is a great option too. Friend just got back from an archery hunt in Alberta and said he passed on multiple 170+ bucks holding out for a 200. He has shot lots of good bucks and doesn't lie. I saw a few pics of bucks he passed on 

Outfitter or public land?

 Unless I'm mistaken, you have to use outfitters/guides if you hunt Canada as a non resident/citizen.

It was with an outfitter that he knows so he kind of had the best of both worlds. If you saw the bucks he passed you would

As others have mentioned, go to Alberta. If you'd like to see what Alberta deer are like and you are around Twisp, go to Hank's grocery and look at all the head-mounts he has above the frozen section. Almost all of the huge ones are from Alberta and I am talking HUGE. There are several that have 30 plus inches of width and tons of mass. Hank has many 180 or greater bucks in the store for anyone to see.

 Most are with Silver Sage Outfitters http://Http://silversageoutfitters.com and a couple recent ones from Big Knife Outfitters http://www.bigknifeoutfitters.com

 Here is Hanks buck from a couple weeks ago.

I might be looking into the BLM in Montana. That sounds Like it could be a good hunt if I can get away from others. Also the Colorado Private sounds inviting. I will have to see how much that runs. Alberta sounds Awesome but looks like big money maybe. We are looking at around 3500. Just trying to get a starting point.

Thanks for your responses

I did a public land Montana hunt with some buddies this year.  Ate like kings and stayed 8 nights in a hotel and the whole trip, including tag and meat processing, cost me $1500.   We all took good bucks and had a great time.  I think anything over 170" on that hunt is a great buck.  High success rate on nice bucks.
