Archery hunts take place during the month of September. Antelope
hunts utilize comfortable water hole blinds, decoying and stalking.
Mule deer hunts are all spot and stalk. All hunts are conducted on
our private leases. We've had some of our leases since 1985. We
know our property well.
Expect to see lots of game and
have many opportunities at good, quality bucks. We hunt sun up to
sun down. Archery mule deer hunts are one on one adventures.
The best chance for success is to practice quick shots, especially
for mule deer. Average shots are 30 to 35 yards for deer but
practice out to 50. Antelope is the same but some waterhole shots
could be closer.
For mule deer, practice from kneeling, sitting and
standing positions to enhance your chances for success. Also
downhill shooting, most shots for mule deer are from above a bedded
or feeding buck.
As for equipment, of utmost
importance is your confidence and familiarity with your setup and
gear. Being able to draw your bow in multiple positions is key,
especially for mule deer.
Prepare for all types of
weather. September can be hot and dry or cold and wet, all on the
same hunt. Check the internet for a weather forecast before
you come and equip yourself accordingly.
All lodging and meals are
provided as is on all our rifle hunts. Our lodge is located at the
base of the beautiful Big Horn Mountains.
