We start off the deer season in September with the early archery which lasts up to five days. In this early season the bucks are really grouped up in bachelor groups. Coming off a food source like alpha or out of apple orchard are very predictable. If the weather permits, spot and stalk options are available. This is a good time of year to see many bucks and have them at really close ranges. Chances of harvesting one in velvet are also possible.
Next we jump into our muzzleloader hunts which last four days. This starts the last week in September and goes a week into October. Glassing them from a distance and putting a stalk on them to close the distance. Typical range to shoot is 50 to 120 yards. We will get you as close as possible to make a good clean shot.
Rifle hunts last four days. During this season starting mid October, you can experience all types of weather. Hot and cold days, along with some snow is very possible. Be prepared to have adequate clothing for all conditions. You will see many bucks to choose from. The chance of them starting the pre-rut chasing does and making the bigger and wiser buck come out are very possible. Shots ranging from 50 to 300 yards with many around the 200 range is very typical.
You will see lots of great bucks and have ample opportunity for success!
Our late archery hunting lasts five days. This can be really exciting! You will be hunting during the rut while they are chasing doe’s. You will be hunting the migration of deer coming out of the high country with the chance of hunting in the snow. Opportunities of seeing 170 class bucks are more numerous. Hunting out of double bull blinds and spot and stalk are our main ways of hunting. Rattling and grunting in deer is also very exciting during this time of year. Tree stand hunting for whitetails in the river bottoms over a scrape line! Can it get any better! Seeing bucks in the 130’s to possible 160’s are common. In all our hunts, we are able to adapt to the disabled hunter. Having blinds available to the hunter that is not able to walk or climb into stands are no problem.
We will have only one category of hunt: kill the biggest deer you can find in four days… We’ll hunt a variety of habitat depending on elevation and weapon, including agricultural fields and open sagebrush country with Ponderosa pine/Douglas Fir dispersed throughout.
These are the hunts that separate the boys from the men(and women). Archery season is our favorite time to hunt these large ungulates. Our team of guides takes you deep into the wilderness where we lure these animals as closely as possible to the hunter. It is not uncommon to have a bull screaming at arms reach as he rushes into the stand looking for a fight. We think this is the most exciting hunt that North America has to offer, and our clients tend to agree.
If chasing Elk with a stick and string isn't your fancy, we also offer muzzleloader and rifle hunting opportunities.
Please call and speak with one of our knowledgeable guides today if you are interested in one of our elk hunts. Because of the popularity of these hunts, and our short seasons, these spots fill up extremely fast.
