I just got back from hunting mule deer in Wyoming area C. I had a license from the leftover draw. I only hunted public land, state, BLM, national grasslands, and walk in areas.
I saw deer every day. I hunted 4 days. I also saw a few antelope while hunting.
I used a 30-06 with nosler 150gr ballistic tip bullets and a leopold 3-9 scope.
I hunted a different area each day. I had never hunted most of these areas before. I wanted to see new country.
I stayed in motels and ate lunches and snacks from the grocery stores.
I shot a young 4X4 mule deer buck on the 4th day. I had seen a few bucks up to this time but either didn't shoot or they were too small or too far away or on private land.
I had a good time and the west is a beautiful place to hunt. If you want to shoot a trophy I would find private land to hunt or go up into the national forests.
Good luck hunting everyone.
