Mule Deer hunting in Montana Rifle Hunting Mule Deer
Our mule deer hunting is exceptional. We consistently take 4 point (one side) or better bucks with 25-28 inch outside spreads. We take Boone and Crocket bucks every year. 80% of the land we control has a "4 point rule". This means that a mule deer must have a total of four points on one side before you can shoot it. This is our camp rule, not a state regulation, and this rule insures that mature bucks will always be available on the lands we hunt. If you are willing to hunt hard for up to 5 days, you have an excellent chance of taking a real trophy. Methods of hunting mule deer with a rifle vary hut we mostly glass from ridge tops until we spot a buck, then put a stalk on him to get close enough for a good shot. Other methods we use for rifle mule deer hunting include sitting in blinds near natural food sources, ambushing on trails and rattling during the rut.

Rifle Hunting Whitetails
We also have the "4 point rule" on whitetail deer during the rifle season. The "4 point rule" means a whitetail must have at least 4 Points on one side before you can shoot it. Again, this is our camp rule, not a state regulation and it helps to insure that we will always have mature whitetail. Whitetail scoring 140 are common arid there are whitetail in our areas that score up to 180 points. One of our most exciting hunts is rattling whitetail during the rut. We have had as many as six whitetail bucks come into us during one rattling session. Patient hunters take the big ones. Contact us for a current price list for details and different options.

Antelope hunting in Montana Rifle Hunting Antelope
Antelope thrive on the wide-open plains just to the north and east of the Bull Mountains. These wide-open plains of Montana are known as "Big Sky Country". Although this country is open, it has canyons and creeks that make for putting on a good stalk. You can expect shots in the 100 to 300 yard range. Antelope hunting can be very exciting since you rarely go for a minute or two without seeing buck antelope. As with any of our hunts, patience and persistence will usually earn you a nice trophy Antelope can be hunted alone or in combination with other hunts.
