Title: Which state(s) next?
Post by: Mtnwalker on December 15, 2017, 08:42:41 PM: So I currently apply for and/or hunt WA, Wyoming, Colorado, Montana and Idaho. Looking to add another 1 or 2 states to my repertoire for mule deer. Votes? Utah? Nevada?

Utah if you are willing to hunt the general seasons. If not I wouldn't apply.

Haven’t heard as much about Utah on here as some of the other Rocky Mountain states, but hear a lot about it elsewhere. My understanding is that the quality tags are essentially OIL, but excellent. I started building points there thinking I’d have a great hunt when I retire in 30 years or so. Anyone have experience with the general season tags there? Worth the drive?

Last week of September hunts, sounds like it might be a good option for a guy that likes to hunt high? Anybody hunt early muzz down there that can offer some insight?

If you're happy hunting general season with a muzzy apply. If you want a Henry's, San Juan, Bookcliff's, Paunsaugunt, West Desert Vernon, etc. tag only don't waste your time or money. Sure you could beat the odds and draw a random tag but chances are slim.
