Title: Gmu 251 "mission" late muzzleloader tag?
Post by: sanjuankelso on December 29, 2011, 09:00:48 PM: I have been acquiring points now for quite a few years and am looking for a good quality, low profile, late mule deer hunt. Any input, info, and/or pics of this late hunt would be appreciated. Thanks.

I'm judging from the number of tags available and have a little familiarity with the alpine area so I was assuming it is a good pick. Just wanted to get an educated opinion from some folks who have actually done the hunt. Thanks.

Hang around and read a bunch, post more info and I bet you will get a better idea and be able to private email some guys about the specifics of a hunt you are interested in... Welcome to the site.
