Mule deer turned me into a real hunter

Grew up hunting big woods whitetails in Eastern forests - tracking through endless hardwoods was my passion. When I moved to Montana, I honestly looked down on mule deer. Saw them casually grazing by the river like livestock and thought they'd be boring compared to my crafty Eastern bucks. Boy was I wrong. First season hunting muleys completely changed me as a hunter. These aren't your backyard deer - they migrate 50+ miles, deal with mountain lions daily, and vanish into terrain that'll test everything you've got. No tree stands or trail cams here, just boots, glass, and pure hunting instinct. Now when I see whitetails, I barely glance their way. Mule deer hunting gets back to what hunting should be - raw, challenging, and earned. Anyone else make the switch from whitetails to muleys? #hunting #muledeerhunting #whitetailhunting #Outdoors

Why Northern New England is underrated for hunters

Just moved to NH and honestly blown away by how hunter-friendly it is up here! 🦌 No draw systems (except moose), your license includes tags, and here's the crazy part - you can hunt anywhere that's not posted. Most big landowners don't even post because they get tax breaks for keeping land open! Yeah the deer density isn't like down south, but these northern bucks are MASSIVE. Plus I can hunt Maine, NH, and Vermont all for under $500 total. Even as a non-resident, Maine is only $150. Been living near Boston for work and driving up weekends. Best of both worlds - decent job market but incredible hunting access. The tougher hunting just makes it more rewarding when you connect. Anyone else hunting this region? The lack of red tape is refreshing compared to other states. #Outdoors #hunting #newenglandhunting #newhampshire #maine #publiclandhunting

Finally bought my own hunting property! 💰

After years of lease fees and crowded public land, I pulled the trigger on 40 acres in Oklahoma. Best decision ever! Did tons of research on affordable hunting states and wanted to share what I learned: Top budget-friendly regions I researched: 1️⃣ Southwest (OK/TX) - Sub-$3k/acre, incredible variety from whitetail to wild hogs, desert to grasslands 2️⃣ North (MN/WI) - Record-book whitetail country, lakes and forests, strong conservation programs 3️⃣ Southeast (TN/GA/AL) - Timber ground keeps costs low, legendary turkey country with strong hunting culture 4️⃣ Midwest (IN/KY/OH) - Rising trophy whitetail reputation, mixed timber/farmland, great investment potential 5️⃣ Heartland (KS/NE) - Prime pheasant habitat, crop income potential, wide open spaces My 40-acre Oklahoma tract cost $2,800/acre with established food plots, creek access, and tons of sign. First season produced my biggest buck ever - beats paying $15/acre lease fees forever! #hunting #huntingland #landowner #budgethunting #Outdoors
