Archery mule deer hunts begin September 1 and rifle hunts begin on October 1. Early archery hunts (first week of September) offer an excellent opportunity to harvest a full velvet mule deer buck! Archery hunts are typically spot-and-stalk style hunts however we occasionally hunt water or food sources from a ground blind as well. These hunts are extremely successful, we’ve been about 90% for the past 10 seasons on trophy caliber mule deer. We are all bowhunters ourselves and completely understand what it takes to be successful with archery equipment.
