Archery Pre-Rut Deer Hunt

This hunt is 5 days and 6 nights including lodging and meals. The Pre-Rut Hunt is the last few weeks before the primary rut and is one of the best times to tag a trophy. During this time the bucks become much more active within their home ranges; putting down rubs and scrapes and looking for those first early-cycling doe. 90 percent of overall scraping activity happens outside of the shooting hours. But, for five to seven days after the October full moon, daylight scraping activity starts to heats up. At this time about 50 percent of scrape visits occur during the day. Our guides will find the hottest sign on our farms and have you perched in a stand ready to intercept one of our mature bucks. For this hunt, you'll be allowed to harvest a 4 1/2 year old or older buck with minimum body weight of 190 lbs or bucks will have a minimum 5-inch mass measurement at the H1 measurement, antler base, and a doe. This method ensures our bucks have the opportunity to reach maturity. Please inquire on available date before booking!
