Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Deer Hunting Recommendation for a Utah deer guide

Does anyone have a recommendation for a guided mule deer hunt in Utah for 2022?
Thanks

I’d call R&K hunting and discuss what your looking for with them. They kill some great bucks in Utah.

Just DON'T contact Mossback Outfitters!!!! If anyone recommends them to you, run the other way!!!

I would probably a kind Ryan Hatch right now as well seeing as how he is facing some felony poaching charges.

I heard Wade Lemon does a pretty good job for deer.

Good one, run from that man.

I’d consider pushing your hunt back to a year with more normal rainfall. Depending on where you’re hunting, antler growth could be significantly down because of the drought. I’d be looking for CWMU tags through outfitters. Otherwise, you can wait many many years for a limited entry tag. Deer tags are now capped, so I don’t believe you’ll find an over the counter tag.

I have nothing but good to say about Tom Land of Wild Country Outfitters. I’ve hunted their biggest property 15+ times (primarily archery deer). They have strict management practices that focus on only taking deer that are 51/2 or older. They have some great genetics (if memory serves, they killed a 193” 3yr old years ago before age restrictions were implemented). Very high quality, great guides and accommodations. You get what you pay for, and there is frequently a waiting list.

Brec Bundy in St George, Utah is the man, but he’s usually tied up on Arizona Strip hunts.

Taking a buck deer in Utah is one thing, taking a four to six year old four point buck with a good rack is very difficult these days. The CWMU suggestion is a good one. I've known Tommy Land for 25 years or so, if anyone can put you on a decent buck, he can. But, it will be expensive, I'd guess $7500-10,000. Nowadays it's a lot easier to kill a good bull elk than a good buck.
