Montana or Colorado Mule Deer Hunt?

[TN VOL]

It's all I do. Most all the big bucks will be above timberline. Not easy hunting.

I’m sure it’s hard but probably an awesome experience..

True, the view alone is worth the work. I love it up there but it's hard to breathe and I live at 8000ft.

I live in Montana and have always just done a general deer tag with my kids knowing the chances of a large buck are pretty low; so the OP might consider heading to the Missouri Breaks; the season typically ends for muley bucks in mid-November on the CMR so check the regs, but we have always had a great time camping at the Fred Robinson Bridge and then parking off a road and hiking a few miles back into the coulees. Great opportunity for hunting by glassing, hiking, stalking, etc. without high elevation. Use caution if it rains as the gumbo can keep a truck stuck for a week or more. There are nice bucks back in there but it takes hiking several/multiple miles to get way from the road (not a surprise).

The mid season cmr closure is long gone - 3-4 years ago . It’s open all season now

Great to know - about the time I bought a cabin in 411 and started hunting there.

I love hunting the breaks, but the cmr is about the last place I’d go to find a respectable muley buck. The country is pretty awesome though.
