Mulies

[indybrad]

Can anyone recomend a place to go hunting mulies? Looking to do a 4 day rifle hunt for around 2500 to 3000.

Can't help with your question, OP...

I'm just curious as to the equipment you'll be using?

Win model 70 with a Shilen barrel in 25-06.

Sounds like a 120gr pill would be mighty fine mulie medicine!

I've shot several cartridges in my life, but I've not checked that one off "the list" yet. Sounds like you've got a mighty fine rig, indybrad!

I might try Carbondale CO, sis lives there, might get me access to some good private ground.

I would suggest Nw Nebraska. The pine ridge hunting area Has a lot of deer in public ground to hunt. I go out there with some buddies and we camp cheap and eat cheap. All and all we can get a 10 day hunting trip for less than a grand a piece.

I was also checking out a place in Valentine NE.

Hey Indy,
Don't forget Colorado. Spent 20+ years there chasing Mulie's and the ever be damned Elk around the state. Your 25-06 will do well, you will need the 120gr Nosler's, just try to keep the ranges shorter, maybe 300-350yds. As far as where to hunt, that's changed alot in the last couple of years. You could try the Flattops area, between Triangle Park and Buford, little spot called Heiner Springs. Good flat relatively open areas for the little .25-06, also lots of steep, gnarly dark crap to climb around in if you've got a good sized pistol, say a .44Mag or larger. I will warn you about one thing though. GET YOUR ASS IN SHAPE!!! You've no idea just how little fun a hunting trip is if you can't walk with your backpack or even worse get smacked with a hideously nasty case of altitude sickness. Sigh, I keep telling people that and NOBODY believes me. Anyway, there's lots of good hunting, get up in the mountains west of Denver and then maybe 25 or 30 miles North or South of I70 and have fun. If you want to hunt in Colorado, be warned also that the application deadline is in the 1st week or so of April.

This sounds interesting. can you post or PM me some more info on this.

I will be out in the Flat Tops for second season bull elk in Area 24. Will start the getting in shape thing soon, but the horses we'll be on will bear the brunt of the walking and climbing thing. BTW, the cost for just the 5 day hunt is $3600.00, license is $579.00, taking the slow way out, so if we see something interesting, we'll stop, screw that straight through stuff, so who knows how much that is going to add up to with gas prices being what they are. With a 90% success rate, add the cost of processing to every thing else. Best save your money, do your home work and find some public land [millions of acres to choose from] and camp out.

Colorado is lovely, but don't rule out northern Utah or Idaho (Salmon area is particularly astounding!!) I'll see if I can find out any recommended guides in the area.
