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

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
