Northern Wyoming Trophy Whitetail Deer Hunts

Wyoming is a sleeper state when it comes to big whitetails. Most hunters across the country don't realize the incredible trophy whitetail hunting offered in the State. And this hunt is on some of the best whitetail properties we have ever seen. Mature bucks generally range from 130-180 inches and the whitetail population is extremely high.
I hunted there in September 2009 with two clients and we were seeing up to 100 whitetail deer per day coming to a crop field and a large proportion of those were bucks! And that was during September. The whitetail hunting is nothing short of incredible!
Hunting Area
Our outfitter is a second generation outfitter operating in the local area for the last 20 plus years. He leases or owns approximately 20,000 acres of exclusive, prime whitetail habitat including over 6 miles of river bottom perfect for treestand hunting monster whitetails. The hunt takes place in north central Wyoming near the town of Sheridan in the beautiful foothills of the Big Horn Mountains.
Trophy Quality and Population
This hunt is for some of the largest whitetail bucks in the West. Mature bucks generally range from a whopping 130 to 180 inches with the average buck taken being about 150 inches! The whitetail population and buck to doe ratio are also extremely high. During the rut, you can expect to see bucks traveling all day long.
Hunt Duration and Cost
$4500 which includes the cost of a nonresident deer tag.
The hunt is 4 days and includes motel and lunches. Breakfasts and dinners are not included.
The hunt will take place during the peak of the rut in November.
Licenses
Whitetail licenses are easy to draw and leftover licenses have been available after the draw for the last several years.
A 50% nonrefundable deposit is required to book the hunt.

Southeastern Saskatchewan Trophy Whitetail Deer Hunting (Indian Res.)
A 173 gross whitetail
This trophy whitetail hunt occurs on an Indian Reservation in southeast Saskatchewan. Saskatchewan has a reputation for monster bucks and this area is no exception. In fact, the bucks are probably larger in this area than anywhere in SK due to the remoteness of the area and hunting the Indian Reservation. Only native Indians and their clients are allowed to hunt. If you are after a monster whiteail, this is the place to hunt.
Hunting Area
Our outfitter hunts approximately 28,000-acres of the
White Bear Indian Reservation which borders the Moose
Mountain Provincial Park (approximately 96,000-acres)
where no hunting is allowed by nonresidents. Hunting by non-residents is not permitted in the
provincial park but the flow of big game in and out
of the park and onto Reservation land is constant. Thousands and thousands of acres of agricultural land surrounds our hunting territory.
All big game hunts take place on First Nation land
and are strictly free chase.
About our Outfitter
Our outfitter is a small and
personalized hunting outfitter. He offers a limited amount of big
game hunts per year on various Saskatchewan Indian
Reservations, which are all located in the southern
portion of the province.
He has over 20 years of
hunting experience and and has been guiding for 6 years. He is a full time guide, trapper, and logger. He
firmly believes in the proper use of all wildlife and
the land. This knowledge and experience has proven
invaluable in terms of providing an excellent guide
service to his clients.
Listed below are some
of the qualities and expectations upon which our outfitter has
built his reputation:
• High success rate – over 70% of his clients are
repeat customers.
• Small and personalized operation – less than 20
clients per year.
• Friendly, knowledgeable and experienced guides.
• Excellent meals and accommodations.
• Low client to guide ratio.
Trophy Quality
Trophy quality is incredible with bucks generally ranging from 140 to 190.
Hunting Method
All hunts are 100% free chase (no high fences). The
hunts also take place during the annual rut. All
hunting is done on foot in wilderness areas actively
pursuing game and/or hunting out of tree stands and
ground blinds. I should also note that hunting
pressure by tribal members is considered to be very low.
Our outfitter limits the number of hunters to eight or less per week.
If you are hunting the November rut then you need to
be prepared to sit long hours on stand in cold
weather. The number of bucks that you can expect to
see varies greatly, from a few per week to a dozen each day, and it also depends on a few uncontrollable factors such as the timing of the rut, the
temperature, and the deer density.
In certain areas, bait such as oats may be used to
hold and concentrate the does. We can accommodate
those who do not wish to hunt over bait. However,
the hunter should be prepared to see a lot less deer.
Accomodations
Hunters are lodged in comfy, spacious 2 bedroom
cabins located in a beautiful resort setting. The
cabins offer a spectacular view of the lake and are
conveniently located just 1/2 mile north of White
Bear in the beautiful Moose Mountain Provincial Park.
They are furnished with a kitchenette,
table and chairs, futon, and satellite TV. Laundry
facilities are also available. This set-up provides
the ideal setting for hunters who are seeking an
enjoyable, comfortable hunt, without necessarily"roughing it".
Travel
Your adventure will begin with airport pick-up in
Regina, Saskatchewan. Typically, clients will arrive in camp a day or two before their scheduled hunt. My guides and/or myself will be there to greet you.
Hunt Price and Duration - 7 days for $4000 (includes license)
The hunts include airport pickup, food and lodging, and your license.
Hunters have the option of
purchasing additional hunting days at a price of
$200.00 per day. There is an airliner charge of
approx. $150 to change your flight – this is not
included in the added price.
A $1500 nonrefundable deposit is required to book the hunt.

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 including several miles of the famed Arkansas River. 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 Population
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 whitetail bucks
generally range from140 to 160 gross, but bucks over 170 are
not uncommon.
The population of both mule deer and
whitetails on our ranches is excellent and you should see
plenty of animals on your hunt.
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% with
numerous Pope & Young bucks taken. Our hunter's shooting
opportunity percentage is nearly 100%.
Celebrity Hunters
Due to excellent trophy quality,
several nationally-known celebrity 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.

I can also vouch for the excellent
quality deer hunting in eastern Colorado as I have bowhunted
there for the last 20 years and harvested half a dozen Pope
& Young whitetails over the years .

Bowhunting Method (mostly treestand)
The majority of his hunting for both
whitetails and muleys is from well-placed treestands and ground blinds set up in the creek bottoms. 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.
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.
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
The hunts occur in November during the rut. 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. You can stay at the ranch house on the main whitetail hunting property for a very reasonable rate.
Hunt Duration and Price 2 x 1 - $3,500
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.
Manitoba Trophy Whitetail
Deer Hunting
Only
$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 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!
