We offer several 5-day trips throughout October.  In our area, the best time for trophies is anytime during the season -- period!  We can say that because we limit the number of hunters on any one lease to provide excellent hunting for each client. Licenses for deer are easily obtained in our areas.

Our success is at or near 100% every year.  The mule deer range from 20" - 28" 4X4 bucks. If you must have trophies larger than these, you should consider hunting elsewhere. Trophy bucks are usually hard to come by any time, any place, but we do get our share.

The weather in early October is usually warm, but during the month it can get really cold and snowy.  Terrain hunted varies from gently rolling to mighty rough and steep.  We can make your hunt as easy or as tough as you like. Ranch elevations range from 4,000 to 6,000 feet.

All of our hunts in Wyoming originate from our lodge near Buffalo.  Our facilities feature comfortable, individual heated bedrooms for each party of four hunters, including private baths.  All meals - the best - are served right here at the lodge.  The facility also boasts a warm, comfortable recreation area featuring a crackling fire, card tables and a pool table for your enjoyment.

An average shot is 200 yards.  Therefore, we recommend a flat-shooting rifle with a caliber in the .243 to one of the 7mm magnums.  Some .30 calibers are alright, too. Corresponding bullets in the weight range, 100-150 grains, with long-range styles are the best for mule deer. A fine middle-of-the-road caliber is the .270 win. with a 130-grain bullet weight.

We prefer a bolt-action rifle equipped with a 3X9 scope.  From experience we don't recommend semi-automatic or iron-sighted guns. Your rifle should be sighted in 2-3 inches high at 100 yards.   We highly recommend that you use a bi-pod.  It offers an excellent rest for steady shots and can make the difference between a trophy bagged and one lost!

One last suggestion. Sight in your rifle well before your trip, and PRACTICE! PRACTICE! PRACTICE!
