Does anyone have first hand knowledge of a good guide/lodge for mule deer in Texas? As I understand it, they are in the panhandle.
 
Jim Breck Bean - High West Outfitters Has some good hunting
 
DESERT SAFARIS LLC
 
West Texas Hunt Organization. Lots of MD south of I 10 as well. More desert mule deer. Elk as well, free range.
 
Check with @gizmo I think he offers mule deer.

Gee pilar, after seeing the aoudad in your avatar I should have asked for your recommendation for them.
 
@AustinL Austin has some family land up that way. He might know someone.
 
A friend of mine owns and operates Final Descent outfitters out of Lubbock. They are primarily a goose/crane outfitters but they do offer limited mule deer hunts in the Sandhills west of Lubbock. Plenty of mule deer up further north in the panhandle as well or out in south west tx. Budget, hunt style and expectations may dictate what hunts are the best fit for you

I can also recommend Ocotillo Hunt Club out in far west TX

Fair questions AustinL...thanks for asking.

I am looking for a quality hunt and I am willing to pay for it. I want a really good deer rather than one that is "representative". Walking is not a problem so would prefer stalking rather than sitting in a blind all day but will do whatever is needed for a good deer. Good food is necessary but doesn't have to be fancy. Alcohol is not important. The accommodations on the Ocotillo Hunt Cub website would certainly meet my expectations, or I can stay at a Hampton Inn in town. It mostly needs to be clean.

My expectations for the guide/PH is the same as anywhere I hunt or fish. That they find what I am hunting for while not irritating the shit out of me.
 
Based on your reply I would definitely reach out to the guys at Ocotillio

Just wanted to say thanks for the excellent customer service. Ordered some 9.3x62 brass and the delivery was a little short. An email through your website Contact Us link was replied to the next day with the tracking info for the correction. Good pricing coupled with great customer service will see returning customers every time. Thanks again!
