Bow Hunting Hunting From A Blind Stalking

Mule deer

Your hunt takes place on private land in Southwestern Montana along the Shields River valley and rolling foothills under the Crazy Mountains. Spot and stalk mule deer in sage covered ridges, timbered mountain sides, or rolling prairie and alfalfa fields. This hunt is moderate in physical conditioning which can help when hiking, or it can be easy if the mule deer are in the lower elevation river bottom areas. We have the option to hunt both areas on private land which gives our hunters a quality hunting experience hunting from our beautiful 7 bedroom, 5 bath lodge. We've been 100% successful on mule deer as we limit each season to 6 mule deer hunters per year. These spots fill up quickly and usually need booked a year or two in advance.

Our mule deer hunts take place in the rolling hills north of Big Timber, MT. Unlike most states, Montana's deer hunting season coincides with the height of the mule deer rut. This can make for a very exciting hunt, often seeing a good number of bucks per day. In the past few years we have seen rapid growth in our mule deer numbers in this area. In an effort to properly manage our herd, we only offer a limited amount of these hunts each year. We strongly encourage our hunters to only harvest mature bucks. This ensures that our younger bucks will have a chance to grow into mature deer. ​ This hunt consists of a lot of time behind optics. We will glass as much country as we can each day. If that big buck is spotted, then we will discuss a way to stalk him. This is a fun hunt and can be very rewarding.
