Antlered Mule Deer 151
Hey guys just looking for some advice on a mule deer tag that I was drawn for recently in 151. I have never hunted any southern Alberta areas as I am from the Northeast so any advice appreciated. This will also be my first Antlered Mule deer hunt!
Is there any crown land down in the southern WMU's? Should I start getting permissions now for hunting on private land? Also which areas in 151 have the best chance of success? Been putting in for 4 years so looking to get a decent animal if possible.
Thanks in advance and feel free to PM!

Can we stop this chit on the forum already. With everything else already stacked against us do fellow outdoorsmen really need this behavior.
Guy wants to hunt something and wants a new experience. I can understand that.
I dont have any info for you but best of luck.

Buy landowner maps, download ihunter, browse google earth, fill up the tank and lace up the boots.

That kind of statement really makes me wonder who the "genius" is here....
Nothing wrong with trying something new and expanding your hunting experiences.
To the OP good luck with your hunt and looking forward to some pics!

hunted near bindloss for the last few years. saw good numbers of mulies and wt along the river. no monster mulies but lots of 3x3s and smaller 4x4s. there are good deer in that zone, just gotta find them. look for draws and valleys to hunt. get a landowner map and call landowners now as the place gets lots of hunters. some landowners will only let a certain amount of hunters on each year. once they hand out 20 or so permissions they stop giving permission. CWD is in the area we hunted. we got 4 positives in two years with my hunting party. something to consider as well.

Agreed...LEARNING being the key point. Dont learn much getting handouts. Its a 3-4yr wait for a tag there, if this year is a swing and a miss do it again in 2021 and you'll know alot more than you did this time.

There is a river running damn near full length of that particular zone.
If it were me, I'd be scouting out places to launch and pull out
Cheers,

The Red Deer River is where I would spend all my time getting permission.

I'd go early November and float the river. Should still be open that time of year and would be an awesome hunt. Some of those Islands would probably hold some great deer!
I am sure there is a bit of Grazing Lease land as well you could easily get on.

I don't think there is an issue with people helping out with the logistics of the hunt. The problem is when guys ask specifics of where to hunt and where the big critters are.
I was pushing the limits asking for more than I should with my ewe tag but in my defence I was asking not because I can't do it all myself but because I have a 12 year old girl who is the one that is going to do the hunt not me.
I can hike 15 miles in there and get it done on my own easy enough but why not get some help if guys are willing to help out and get some ideas if there is something closer for her. And the fact it is a ewe and 9 year wait myself I would have no issues at all if someone asked me for help. A ram is a different story....
As for the Buffalo hunt thing. Ya I need some ideas from guys. It's a 10 hr drive just to get there. I have no idea where to stay and it's a once in a lifetime chance to get the tag. Why wouldn't guys give some feedback on what works?
Once is a lifetime kind of tags there are a lot of guys willing to help out. I would too and will be offering my thoughts after we are done the hunt so others can be successful. I doubt we will ever get the draw again so what will it hurt to spill the beans?
It's a little different than asking what zone is full of monster moose and which farmer to ask for permission. At least that is my thoughts on it.

Actually Nube since elk opened everyone and their dogs have been pounding the river. That used to be the staple. Glass from one side and go hunt.
Times have changed.
Big boys hang on the flats where there is no fence for a mile or so.
Sucks with foot only access but can be done.

Those big deer will still be there but good info. Prepare to get hammered for giving some info lol
I got Priority 11 and will be in Kyrgystan next year but after that I will be looking to get a good one. I doubt I will have it figured out where by then either so who knows when I will go lol

Asking to get some info doesn't hurt I don't think and this area is almost 8hr drive from where I live so not the most economical to just go for a drive and scout the area. So this year will be the first year I am hunting the area yes. I mean you can't say that everyone wasn't in an area for there first time ever, we all start somewhere guys remember that. And thanks to the people actually willing to offer some helpful advice.
