You could save a large chunk of cash and have a significantly more rewarding time by just forgetting about the outfitter. You could do some research, invest in some decent gear, and do it on your own on public land in places that have tags that are not so tough to draw, and bucks that would make almost any hunter happy. By choosing that route, you could do 2 or 3 hunts in the next 3 or 4 years for the price of one outfitted hunt. Just something to consider.
Ditto that.
However DIY hunts ain't for everyone.
I know my spike camps ain't and I'm sure yours aren't either Kurt.
Big, real big muleys are about the toughest nut to crack these days.
Everyone wants them and there ain't many of them.
Sonora, extremley limited quota draws, high dollar private land hunts and expensive landowner tags tip the odds in your favor for sure.
As an example, how many years does it take to draw a unit 10 or 21 Colorado deer tag these days? 10, maybe 14 years?...The Arizona strip, the Henry's?
As Greenhorn said, there are other ways, but the odds usually ain't good and the
The bigger your budget, the better your odds.
