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 approximately 65,000 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.

One of our prime whitetail properties is located along the famed Arkansas River in southeast Colorado. We have exclusive outfitting rights to about 35,000 acres of private land which includes approximately 6 miles of river bottom for prime bowhunting.

Trophy Quality

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! Mature whitetail bucks generally range from an incredible 130 to 180 inches gross, with a 150 inch gross average over the last 20 years. Several bucks grossing over 180 have been taken.

Hunting Method

Hunting is generally by treestand hunting along the creek bottoms during the rut which can be a very productive hunting method for the big bucks.

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 but our outfitter doesn't charge anything extra.  The outfitter leases property in several different game management units in eastern Colorado and can assist you in applying for the correct group of units.  Archery licenses are generally valid for a group of game management units. 

With the exception of whitetail only licenses, 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 but some units are better for mule deer and some better for whitetails.

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). However, for big whitetails we recommend hunting during the rut or pre rut in November. However, the early season towards the beginning of October can also be good as the bucks are still in bachelor groups and more predictable than 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 close to the hunting area.

Archery Hunt Duration and Price - $2,750 for 7 days (Self Guided)

These hunts are self guided. However, the outfitter will meet you at the property prior to your first hunt and show you around the property and make hunting recommendations.  Many treestands have already been placed at the best spots or you can add your own. A pop-up ground blind wouldn't hurt either. As these hunts are treestand hunts and the outfitter has been guiding hunts on the properties for over 20 years, going self guided is really not a detriment and our hunters have been extremely successful.

The outfitter only takes a very limited number of hunters on each property.

Food and lodging extra.

Rifle Hunts

Our outfitter takes a very limited number of rifle hunters. As eastern Colorado's rifle seasons are in late Oct. and early Dec. and the archery hunts are conducted in early Oct. and Nov. during the rut and our outfitter takes such a low number of hunters, it really doesn't negatively affect archery hunting.

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.
