Hi there,
Not the first time ive asked for advice on this and got some help last time from a few of you ---- sadly due to change in circumastances and poor admin on my behalf i lost details
I would appreciate any assistance/direction in teeing up a hunt in either usa or canada for a mule deer, elk not off the cards either
Any reccomendations would be helpful - not really wanting to blow out re cost either so more basic the better
Cheers
When are you wanting to go?
I am guiding over there next year for a few months. Hope to get a few tags for my efforts. I am only interested in moose, whitetail and mule deer. I can hunt pretty cheap as a non resident if I get tags. I should know a bit more about the ins and outs and cheap options after I get home.

Non resident regulations and therefore costs vary state to state. I would narrow down what states you can afford to hunt in and go from there. I know some are ridiculously expensive.
You will need to let us know where you are expecting to go and what time of the year.

@R93 going all the way to the states for whitetail....
you can hardly call NZ whitetail real trophy stuff although, have seen a few decent ones out of the greenstone/caplesQuote:

I won't ever hunt the mainland herd unless it gets healthy again.

When you make it up here @R93 I'll be keen, will even give you some free accommodation and breakfast in California and let you be little spoon
We have good whitetails in North Missouri but not so much where I am in the south. If you come up through the Midwest and have time we will get you on some coyotes, coons, pigs etc.
Bow season here mid September to mid January
Rifle is 2 weeks in November
Alternative methods two weeks after Christmas.
Being the little spoon is certainly hard to resist. But at this stage, I will be going straight to work for a mate in Canada.Quote:

I plan to buy a rifle and leave it there and take time the following year to hunt for myself. I am only interested in a Yukon moose and a whitetail from Alberta /Saskatchewan. Maybe a blackltail if I can wangle it.
It will all be new and a chance to learn. Hopefully I will be able to gather valuable information I can pass on to hunters back here that are interested in doing the same thing.

I was going to take an extra week to catch up with family and hopefully a Leafs game or 2 even if I have to fly out east to Ontario.

When you get closer to the time let me know what your plans are, I'm pretty flexible and would be keen on an adventure up in the yukon/arctic circle etc especially as I'm in cali for the next 3 years. . It's on my bucket list and should have gone when I was in Alaska.Quote:

@R93 cheers for the detail, oct-november ideal time to get there or anywhere required, need to know process of tag application and a good contact to host usQuote:

I've hunted a couple of times in Wyoming and my recommendation is to read the fish and game regulations for the state / province you hope to hunt. You'll also need to suss out the odds of drawing a non resident tag (moose might be next to impossible) and also the hunter education certificate. It can definitly be done but be prepare for heaps of research.
