October Wyoming Mule Deer Hunts
Using Wyoming Mule Deer Hunting Outfiters
Some Wyoming mule deer hunts focus on shadowing the migration routes in search of trophy mule deer. Staking out position between Cody and Yellowstone.|

Typically your day of hunting muleys will begin at base camp before sunrise. Two hours before sunrise. From there you'll truck your horses to that day's hunting area. Starting early to get in on the early morning deer feeding. Looking for a trophy amoung the grazing herd. Count on doing some glassing the south facing slopes that have good sun exposure. Or perhaps getting in some timber driving in an attempt to turn up a trophy sized rack. In the evening you'll reverse the process. Heading home from a hard day in the field for a late supper. |
Mule deer often move in stages to their winter range. How fast they get there is up to the weather to a large extent. Mild weather makes for a more leisurely migration.
Many Wyoming mule deer hunts focus on private ranches along the border of the national forest.
Given it's Wyoming it's likely you'll be hunting in elevations of 7,000 feet or more. In October. So you need to be in good shape to hike up and down hills in pursuit of mule deer in varying weather conditions. Weather that will seldom be confused with ideal.
And it wouldn't hurt to get in some practice shooting either. While sitting, off hand, and in the prone position.
When hunting for mule deer it helps to have a target sized deer in mind. That way you have something to weigh each shooting opportunity against? Also use that to scope out a potential outfitter. Find out how likely it is you'll have an opportunity to take a buck the size you've got in mind. You may need to focus on where there are fewer deer to have a chance at bringing home the trophy you want.
When hunting deer during the rut, don't take the first buck you see. There is often a bigger buck lurking in the brush around the harems of does.
These are good ideas to keep in mind whether participating in Wyoming mule deer hunts or hunting muleys in other parts of the West though too.
