well I hope you both get out west some day, the trips I took have all been great memories, even if I didn't kill what I hoped for
heck, my last trip there I stayed an exrta week, just traveling about the rockies, think I had more fun doing that than hunting LOL
WY and CO. are both awesome states with great scenery
hunted mule deer only in SD and alberta
still never killed one, did pass on a lot of nice bucks, hoping for a big one, and ate tag soup, but always on combo hunts, and came home with a whitetail
combo hunts help make more chances, but tags can get pricy
looking back now, I do wish I took more trips out west,, and like places
best time to do them is when your body is in better/ younger shape, and you have time to pay things off if need be LOL
