Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Savage Collectors Wyoming Muley Hunt

Just thought I'd put this out there.

David Royal and I are booking an outfitted Wyoming muley hunt together for this Oct.1-5. The outfitter says he takes very few hunters for deer on this ranch, so he only has room for just 2 more hunters. If anyone on this Savage page thinks they might like to throw in with us, PM or email me. A few guys had expressed interest when I posted, this past fall, about going back.We thought it might be cool to get a couple more guys together and put some blood on a few 99's.

If you'd rather do a 3 day pronghorn hunt within those same dates, that is also available, as is a muley/pronghorn combo.

This is the same outfitter and accommodations that I used for my pronghorn hunt this past fall and I can't say enough about the great experience I had. While I was there, I saw 8 muleys brought into the skinning shed, and 6 of them made my jaw drop! I only got pics of one and it was certainly not the biggest. Also a photo taken by a pronghorn hunter that didn't have a muley tag.

Do you need preference points to draw those deer tags and if so how many?

Any other year, I'd be begging for more details!
Sounds like a dandy trip! Daughter gets married 10/10 and I hunt SE Montana every year. That season usually is about the 20th, so October days will be at a premium this year!
Good luck, and let us know how you do!

What part of Wyoming?

Would love to but this year is going to be developing property.

I'm going over there because the big ones here don't come down out of the mountains until deer season is over. I've never gotten a mule deer so I'm looking forward to it. Now I have to figure out which 99 to take. David

The outfitter says draw odds are very good since there is so much private land and so little public. A point or two probably couldn't hurt. Then again, you could always put in for the pricier Special draw tag.

No hunting out of state this year for me except for my annual Pa archery hunt and WV weekend with Joe.

Have to many other time and money obligations for 20.

I'll have 7 Wyoming elk points, 5 mule deer points and 3 antelope points for 21 though...

Damn! Too bad! We would have had a good time.
So, I guess that means you worked out that property deal. Congratulations!!! Good for you. man.
Hey, you're still young, and I'm almost still youngish. I'll be doing something again next year. Maybe we'll do something then.

In the meantime, maybe we'll see you at Joe's Pa. Rendezvous.

Anything 300 or 308 would be my choice....

Would I have to use a Savage?

No 50BMG's, you have to get closer.

I think it's legal in Wyoming to use something other than a 99.

Just out of sheer morbid curiosity, what of yours would you take for muley?

Probably the one you saw at Joe's camp- Ruger #1 6.5x55.

What bullet would you stuff into that case?

Either the 130 Berger VLD or Lapua 139 Scenar.

Working on getting the place. Not done, just optimistic.

I always have to be a bit different, and I sold my 1895 Winchester in 35 Winchester, so if it wasn't my 250R, it might be my Ruger #3 in 25-35. I just have to get closer or pass.

Edit: In a pinch, I could always have the .375 Winchester barrel put back on it, but I don't think so.

Maybe I should get the switch barrel 99G dialed in and use the 300 barrel for mule deer and the 250 barrel for antelope.

That hunt is just screaming for a 99 in 284 !
