Introduction
Many hunters are
beginning to realize that eastern Colorado holds some of the
largest whitetail and mule deer bucks in the country. This
is because the vast majority of the land is private, rifle
licenses are very limited, the winters are mild, and there
is an abundance of crops for growing huge racks. And our
outfitter leases several of the best ranches the area has to
offer. He has exclusive outfitting rights to 100,000+
acres of private ranch land which includes over 25 miles
of creek bottom inhabited by both muleys and whitetails. All
of our outfitter's leases are hand-picked and provide the
habitat to produce trophy class bucks. These ranches are
spread over several game management units and offer a
diverse selection of habitats for our clients. His leases
are managed for both trophy class animals and a quality
hunting experience.
Trophy Quality and Success Rate

Without
exaggerating, eastern Colorado rivals any place in North
America for trophy mule deer and whitetails. Hunters come
from all over the country to hunt eastern Colorado. Trophy
quality is just unbelievable! Sighting several Pope & Young
whitetail and mule deer bucks on your hunt is not uncommon.
Mature muley bucks generally range from an incredible 160
to180 gross, with some of our clients fortunate enough to
take bucks grossing over 200. Mature whitetail bucks
generally range from140 to 160 gross, but bucks over 170 are
not uncommon.
About Our Outfitter
SSO and our outfitter strongly believe
in offering our clients a high-quality hunting experience
with a better than average opportunity to take home a
superior trophy. We believe in hunting hard, but having fun
doing it. Our outfitter knows bowhunting. In fact, he is one
of the most accomplished archers in Colorado. Just a few of
his accomplishments include a grand slam on sheep,
harvesting all eight big game species in Colorado with a
bow, and shooting a 385" elk. Being a bowhunter himself, he
knows what it takes to be successful with "stick & string."
He has also guided on a full-time basis since 1984 and if
everything works out right, he can get you a shot at the
trophy of a lifetime. The rest is up to you. Our outfitter
is also very adaptable and will try a variety of hunting
methods as the conditions dictate.
Archery Hunts
Our outfitter's
bowhunts are incredible. He currently leases well over 25
miles of prime riverbottoms teaming with both mule deer and
whitetail deer. He only takes four to six hunters per group
depending on how many ranches he is hunting that week in
order to provide you with a top quality bowhunting
experience. Being an experienced bowhunter himself, he knows
what it takes to get our clients within bowrange of that
trophy of a lifetime. He has dozens of well placed
treestands and some ground blinds set in strategic locations
throughout our ranches.

spot and stalk
Our outfitter limits the number of
hunters on each ranch to ensure that he has quality animals
for years to come. The population of both mule deer and
whitetails on our ranches is excellent and you should see
plenty of animals on your hunt. Bowhunts are semi-guided. We
provide stands and have a guide available at all times for
each group. We also offer a one-on-one trophy bowhunt for
those who want to spot and stalk or want a more personalized
hunt for that trophy buck. Call for availability.
Success Rate
With bowhunting, it is always hard to
calculate an accurate success rate because sometimes we miss
our buck. But that being said, our archers have enjoyed an
average success rate of nearly 70% (100% in 2004) with
numerous Pope & Young bucks taken. Our hunter's shooting
opportunity percentage is nearly 100%.
Testimonials
Due to excellent trophy quality,
several nationally-known bowhunters have filmed hunts with
our outfitter including Bob Fromme of Performance Archery;
and Stan Potts, Pat Reeve, and Greg Miller of North American
Whitetail Television. Watch your local cable listings for
the North American Whitetail Television hunt with our
outfitter.

Matt can also vouch for the excellent
quality deer hunting in eastern Colorado as he has bowhunted
there for the last 20 years and harvested half a dozen Pope
& Young whitetails and muleys over the years including a
huge 205" net non-typical mule deer. The buck was shot from
a treestand during the rut, which is the same way our
outfitter prefers to hunt.

Bowhunting Method (mostly treestand)
Some eastern Colorado outfitters offer
only spot and stalk hunting. But spot and stalk hunting
trophy mule deer and whitetail bucks in the wide-open
prairie land of eastern Colorado will test the skill of even
the most seasoned veteran. And while our outfitter does
offer spot and stalk hunting under the right conditions
(i.e., strong wind), the majority of his hunting for both
whitetails and muleys is from well-placed treestands and ground blinds set up in the creek bottoms. He has
found this to be a much more productive method of bowhunting
than spot and stalk hunting. Our outfitter is very
experienced with treestand hunting and has numerous
treestands pre-scouted, trimmed out, and placed on his 30+
miles of creek bottom.
Our outfitter believes in "low impact"
hunting and requires his bowhunters to remain in their
stands until a designated time in order to ensure a quality
hunt for all.
License
Availability
All deer licenses in Colorado are issued by a
lottery drawing and the application deadline is usually at the beginning
of April. But we have many hunts that only require 0-1 preference
points and the outfitter takes care of all application procedures.
But if you don't draw a license or happen to book your hunt after
the application deadline, our outfitter can generally get you transferrable landowner permit for free! Most outfitters charge their clients between $500 and $1000 for a
landowner permit. The outfitter leases property in 10 different
game management units in eastern Colorado and can assist you in applying
for the correct group of units.
Archery licenses are valid for a group of game
management units.
Your license will be
valid for either a whitetail or mule deer. This is
important because on our hunts, you never know whether a
trophy whitetail buck or mule deer buck might stroll by. All
of our leases have both whitetails and mule deer.
Hunting Dates
Archery deer season in eastern Colorado is very
generous and goes from October 1 to December 31, excluding
the short rifle season(s).
All archery deer hunts begin at noon the first
day and end at noon the last day.
Food and Lodging
Food and lodging are extra but our
outfitter can assist you in locating an inexpensive, yet
comfortable place to stay.
Hunt Duration and Price 2 x 1 - $3,500
(1 x 1 - $4,500)
These hunts are 5 full days spread
over a 6-day period. Hunters will begin hunting at noon on
the first hunt day and end at noon on the 6th day, thus
giving 5 full days of hunting. Additional days can often be
added if desired for an additional fee.
A nonrefundable 50% deposit is required to book your hunt. Credit cards, personal checks, and money orders accepted.

$2500!
Wanted:
Dedicated Whitetail Bowhunters with a thirst for adventure willing
to tackle whatever the outdoors brings for 6 days of intense bowhunting
action in Manitoba's premiere whitetail hunting destination!
This deer hunting operation is bowhunting-only
!
About Us
First and foremost, we are BOWHUNTERS! Collectively, we have over
50 years of bowhunting experience in the area and know it like the
back of our hand. We understand the inherent demands that bowhunters
face and what it takes to harvest a quality trophy in our area with
a stick and string. We can tune and repair bows in the field,
we are Eric & Dan and bowhunting whitetails is our passion!
Our Area & Deer
Our camp is easily accessible by vehicle, located 200 miles west of
Winnipeg, Manitoba adjacent to the Saskatchewan border in an area
known as the Lauder Sandhills (see map). Manitoba, for a province
about the size of Texas, only has 3000 bowhunters meaning that there
is virtually no hunting pressure. You will have access to over
1000 acres of private land as well as 10,000 acres of public land.
This picturesque area is primarily agricultural with sand hills
and large tracts of aspen forest interspersed throughout. The
Souris River meanders through at points and the terrain can vary from
flat prairie to an undulating treed desert country reaching heights
in excess of 80 feet in places creating the ridges and valleys in
which our animals thrive. This combined with thick aspen forests
and willow thickets allow many of our bucks to grow to maturity and
inturn has resulted in a high buck to doe ratio. It is not uncommon
to harvest bucks weighing 250 plus pounds scoring over 150 inches.
Our Camp
Our "Frontier Style Camp" is set right in the sandhills,
a true bowhunters paradise taking you back to to roots of our hunting
heritage. It is secluded, peaceful and in the heart of deer
country.
This camp was built with you the bowhunter in mind, as you can't go
far without seeing something to fling an arrow at. We encourage
all our hunters to practice regularly and provide a 3D target range
with tree stands for realistic hunting practice. Keep your eyes
peeled as you will see deer from camp as well as other game and be
serenaded by coyotes when the sun goes down. Join your guides
by the campfire to learn the strategies of hunting deer in the sandhills
and swap hunting tales. Enjoy meals cooked over an open fire,
and take in the big sky, the stars are unbelievable!
Our Bowhunts
Our bowhunts are fair chase, hunting wild deer, there are no high
fences, or feeding stations! We scout hard and hunt even harder!
We have had excellent success with sets near food sources as well
as the corridors leading to and from bedding and feeding areas.
As we get closer to the rut, we move into known bedding areas for
some aggressive hunting tactics. We have 30 portables as well as several
ground blinds that allow us to hunt changing winds, feeding patterns
and the rut. We have access to a vast area and do not over hunt
our stands. We have excellent success rattling late October
into early November as our area has a high buck to doe ratio and we
will teach you our techniques for rattling up a buck!
The 2007 bow season begins at the end of August and runs right into
the rut (mid-November). All our hunts are six days. We limit
our camp size to a maximum of 4 hunters per week to ensure you have
a quality hunt. There is no Sunday hunting in our area therefore
this day is used for arrival/departure, shooting practice and site
seeing. Our preference is to hunt around the "new moon"
cycles in the early season prior to the rut as we have noticed better
buck movement in daylight hours during these periods. As we enter
the rut, moon phase is not as critical as we use aggressive tactics
to bring the bucks to us.
Why Choose Us?
We are bowhunters and have logged countless hours in our treestands.
We know the importance of proper stand setup, hunting favorable
winds and using back doors to get in and out of our stands.
Our goal is to put you within 20 yards of a trophy, not 200!
We can tune bows and make field repairs to equipment; can the other
outfitters you've been talking to say the same? If not, they
probably don't cater to bowhunters and you may be disappointed.
Our area has some real hogs. We've taken bucks weighing over
300 lbs scoring over 180 inches. Big Buck Magazine constantly
prints stories of animals taken from our neck of the woods.
Your archery experience doesn't end when you get out of the stand.
We encourage everyone to shoot when they are not hunting and we have
a target range that focuses on realistic hunting practice. We
have targets under portable stands as well as ground sets to better
prepare you for when that big boy arrives.
Our frontier camp is secluded and situated right in the hunting area.
It is a unique part of the adventure that brings out the comradery
in our hunters. You will experience a peace and serenity that
is not possible in a motel or hunting lodge and furthermore you will
see a wide variety of the resident game.
Our rates are very competitive and our service is second to none!
