Enrique,
I am looking for a rifle hunt for mule deer. Max price range for this hunt is around $5000. I am looking to go on this hunt in 2011.
Thanks to all who have posted!! I am trying to do my "homework" to find the best possible hunt & outfitter for me. Keep the suggestions coming - they are much appreciated!!
Jeff

Jeff,
You got two years. It may be a long shot, a very long shot, but try applying for a 12A west tag here in Arizona. Odds are long, but its worth a try. If you draw you can find a good outfitter here in AZ for3k to 4k. The hard part will be drawing a tag.
A few years ago I would say Sonora would be out of the question. However I hear and know outfitters down there are hurting for business and you might be able to find some great deals if you research enough.
I bet if any New Mexico guys got into this conversation, you could find a good hunt there for that price range.
Other than that, I would look at Utah, Montana and Colorado and inquire about private land hunts.
Good luck on the search. If I can be of any help let me know.

Another high caliber MD outfitter that I didn't think of earlier is Jack Cassidy. I've not personally hunted with him though, but feedback from others I know is good. He hunts mostly eastern Colorado & the big problem there is drawing a tag. Cassidy Outfitters MM

Unfortunatley in most cases you either pay the big bucks for a guide or landowner tag or log year after year applying for quality tags.
These days the size of the rack seems to be in direct porportion to how many thousands of dollars were spent.
That sucks.
The middle ground is rapidly disappearing, where you buy an over the counter tag, load up your camping gear invest blood, sweat & tears and come home with a trophy buck.
You can have a "quality outdoor experience" without shooting a 200"er though.
If that is the goal, I'd scrap the outfitter, save thousands of dollars and win or lose return with the pride of having done it myself.
