This could be a 3 day, 4 day or 5 day hunt but I have found hunters seeing 30-40 bucks a
day they never get past the second day. We are hunting a prime high concentration area.
These bucks grow big and they grow fast. We don’t set a minimum but usually are smallest
animals taken are 4x4 in mule and whitetail although every year we come home with 5x5
whitetails and a few muley’s to match. Deer tags are still available but move fast they a
going out at this time.

What makes this area so productive is that it contains a mixture of alfalfa, wheat, timber
breaks, buck brush and draws. Perfect mule deer country with an extremely high deer
density.

Mule Deer hunting in Eastern Montana is about as good as mule deer hunting can get. Montana is one of the few states with a general season rifle hunt during the mule deer rut in November. Rifle hunting for mule deer during the rut can offer you an excellent chance at bagging a trophy class mule deer. If you have never hunted mule deer during the rut, you’re missing out on an incredible deer hunt that most hunters do again and again.

Trophy Quality
The Mule deer on our ranches sport impressive antlers with good mass, height, and great overall appearance. Mule Deer hunters usually bag mature mule deer bucks with 18" to 28" antlers and a few bucks taken have had extra cheater points.
Hunting Areas
We operate exclusively on private property in Central and Eastern Montana. We currently have approximately 90,000 acres of private ranch land available to ensure quality hunting. Our Mule Deer hunts take place near Lewistown and Forsyth, Montana.
Hunting Methods
Hunting methods often include spot & stalk hunting, glassing and spotting open hillsides and brush pockets, or sitting and watching water holes and feeding areas. Lots of good hunting country has good vehicle access, so we can accommodate hunters of any physical condition.
Deer Season
Montana is one of few places that has a rifle rut hunt for Mule Deer. The hunting season is generally 4+ weeks long, starting in late October and ending on the Sunday after Thanksgiving. There is always a couple weeks overlap of Deer and Antelope seasons, so combo hunts are available in late October and early November.

Archery hunting season opens September 6 to October 19. There are excellent locations for stands and blinds just waiting for you.

Best Time
The seasons are set so that the hunting is good all the way through. The first two weeks of season are popular with Deer and Antelope combo hunters. Trophy hunters and those who want to experience a rut hunt usually hold out for the rut in mid November.
Shot Opportunity
Above all what stands out about our Montana mule deer hunts, are the sheer numbers of Mule Deer. It is common for our Mule Deer hunters to see 10 or more bucks in a day. Our deer hunters have had 100% shooting opportunity on mature bucks for several years. Only about 4 hunters did not kill, but they passed numerous mature Mule Deer bucks while looking for trophy class heads and 1 guy wounded a big buck that got away. Shots often range from 100 to 300 yards, so zero rifles at 200 yards.
Guiding Options
Several guide ratios are offered that include guiding, transportation during the hunt, and game care.
Accommodations
Motel “Town Hunts”: Stay in town near restaurants and shopping. Motels are only 5 to 50 miles from most hunt areas. Hunters pay for their choice of room and meals. Guide will pick up and return hunters to their room each day. Non-hunting guests staying in town are no charge. Budget about $50-$75 per day for meals and shared room. We believe in moving where our spotters have game in sight, not locking you down into an area because we own the lodge there. These hunts are for buck tag filling success not slipper, a bath robe and not leaving until after 9 am.
Temperature & Weather
September and October may frost at night, but days often warm up to 40 to 80 degrees. Late October and November temps often range from 0 to 50 degrees and snow is possible. Check current weather forecasts on the Montana Home Page before leaving for your hunt.
Taxidermy and Meat Processing
These services are not included, but are available locally for reasonable fees.
What’s Not Included
Your personal gear, motel room, meals, meat processing, taxidermy, licenses, gratuities, and any other items not listed as being included.
