Mule Deer Hunts

Utah, Wyoming & Idaho — Private Land

Four- and five-day packages. Rifle and archery. Private land.

In Utah we use the CWMU system for guaranteed tags. We also hunt general-season private land with 100% drawing odds for nonresidents. We guide limited-entry and premium limited-entry hunts if you draw those units.

I grew up hunting mule deer here. It’s my favorite big game animal at home. There is nothing like outsmarting a big old nocturnal mule deer.

I’ve been guiding hunts for over 35 years. Our guys are seasoned mule deer hunters.

Nonresident license and tag fees are included in the quote so you see the real number before you send a deposit. 

Utah

Most of our Utah ranches are CWMU. You get the tag through us. Ranches that aren’t CWMU sit in general-season units with 100% nonresident draw odds.

We also guide limited-entry and premium limited-entry hunts if you’re lucky enough to draw those units. Draw the tag. Call us. We’ll put a guide on that country.

CWMU season starts September 1 and runs to November 10 depending on the unit. Look up general-season and archery dates for the year you book.

Utah ranches are one to two hours from Salt Lake City International. Airport shuttle can be included. Lodging varies ranch to ranch.

Elevation: 5,500 to 10,000 feet. Terrain: scrub oak, maple, aspen, pine, and sagebrush.

Packages: four or five days. Meals, lodging, and hunt transportation included.

Wyoming

Wyoming is loaded with mule deer habitat. It has not taken the same habitat loss from housing that Utah has. It holds the largest mule deer migration in the country. In my opinion it is some of the best archery hunting there is.

Private land only. Regions K, C, J, and F.

Region K — fly Salt Lake City International
Regions C, J & F — fly Casper, Gillette, or Cheyenne

Elevation: 4,000 to 8,000 feet. Habitat: sagebrush, prairie, bitterbrush, aspen, cedar, and pine.

Some units take a few points. We have other applicants we can put you in with to help the draw. Other units draw 100% in the special, which guarantees the hunt.

Four consecutive days. Meals and lodging included. Outfitter license BG-295.

Southern Idaho has long been known for trophy mule deer. This private ranch is no exception. Rifle and archery in Unit 72, Bannock, near Chesterfield.

We’ve killed several bucks in the 180s and 190s, and taken some over 200.

Five consecutive days. 1×1 or 2×1. Meals and lodging included.
