I’m looking for recommendations for a really nice solid mule deer hunt. Doesn’t have to be a world record animal but a nice solid 5x5 outside the ears decent mass. What guides or outfitter have you used? Texas/New Mexico. Would love to keep it $3,500 or less for next season with a legit opportunity. Or does anyone on here have west Texas/pan connections? Something to hang on wall and be proud of. It’s a bucket list item for me along with gemsbok but those have pretty much out priced me already!

new mexico may be a better fit...I've seen some outfitters offer hunts for $3500 in recent years. Mainly hunting Alfalfa fields.
West Texas hunts are going to be more expensive, WTO, Jim Breck Bean, Desert Safaris, all good outfits.
Mule Deer hunting is not like whitetail, Deer numbers are alot lower and you can cover alot of ground to find a mature buck....I'm saying this because you mentioned " outside the ears, decent mass, 5x5" is a particular order you may not be able to fulfill and you need to have realistic expectations.

Recommend this place big time. It's out west near Kent Texas. 40K acres and low fence. We had an amazing time hunting javelina and aoudad.
Rancho Del Cielo/JDC Ranch Partners L.P. is a working ranch located on the northern edge of the Davis Mountains in Far West Texas.
Jesse runs the place and is a cool dude. Give him a call. Should be under $3500 for a cull buck. The Mexican gentlemen who owns the 40,000 acre ranch takes 1-2 200" mulies annually so you will likely see some whoppers. I believe culls were 150-170 but confirm with Jesse. You can see some of the culls on the website. The food and accommodations were amazing.

With budget listed and quality of deer you are looking for I think you would have a very difficult time finding that in west Texas. Not as familiar on pricing in NM, but think that would be difficult as well.
Mule deer pricing has been on the high side for years and doesn’t look to be coming down.
