It's so much fun to go out of state an hunt I tent camp and like the rough it kinda hunt ..
I'm a poor ole working man and can't afford a big $ hunt

Do any of y'all go out of state on a budget hunt ...?

I go but my back don't let me rough it too rough. We usually split a hotel or cabin.

For Ohio, check out SE Ohio...The Wayne National and Cooper Hollow.

I'd like to look into doing this as well. Public land DIY out of state. Do you have to apply for tags or just buy a license in Kentucky?

My buddies have been going to Kansas the last few years and have killed some decent deer. I think they spend under a grand hotel included.

I would like more info on this also. I guess every state is different as far as having available tags? It would be good if someone could post a list of the states and what an out of state license cost as well as the tag.

been hunting Kansas the last few years. It's an application process. 100% draw if you apply by the deadline. If you don't apply left over tags went on sale I believe on July 1st. You apply to a certain unit. Whatever unit you get a tag for its good for any unit that touches your unit. Unfortunately I'm prettysure they are sold out of tags for this year.

I hunt killbuck Ohio killed a few decent ones!

Kentucky went up to 260 nonresident deer hunt one buck and two doe .. Was 190 last year

Last year I went to the MS delta and hunted a refuge. I stayed in a cabin nearby, I was by myself and hunted for 3 days. Total cost including gas was about $600. I saw 7 bucks and 13 does, had a decent 2-3yo eight point in range, he had a broke off g3, and might have scored 110-115. I saw an enormous buck coming out on my first day. Had a blast and plan on going again this year.
