Hunted mule deer back in the 1990's in NW Colorado. Saw many smaller ones but never did tag one as I wasn't interested in a 20 incher. Got up to 4 or 5 preference points but the required number kept increasing. Not sure if they are still good, anyway.

As I passed 70yo, I realized that this is something I would like to do - tops on my bucket list. Does anyone know of an outfitter that can reasonably arrange a hunt for a respectable muley? I appreciate that this may be a tough order and I'm certainly not expecting trophy quality animals. Unfortunately, my previous contacts have passed on and I've been out of contact for a couple decades.

Many thanks!

Come to Texas. check out numerous outfitters. No draws, no points.
 
I've just stared looking at Colorado myself. I read that eastern part of state can hold a lot of trophy mule deer because almost all private property and minimal hunting pressure. A good outfitter will have secured exclusive hunting rights to numerous properties. It is going to be costly though. Contact F&G to see if your points are still active. You may need them for the good units.

This is accurate - get with Mike Schubach at Infinity Hunts. I hunted eastern CO two years ago. [email protected]

Probably should contact my friend for a good hunt that won't stress you too much. He's an idaho outfitter and has an awesome lodge you can stay at.
