Montana is another popular mule deer hunting state due to the liberal season dates of late October throughout the rut and into late November when trophy bucks are most vulnerable and the guaranteed deer licenses obtained through booking an outfitted hunt. Several years of mild winters have deer populations in eastern Montana higher than in several decades. Some regions boast buck to doe rations as high as 50:100 with many 5-7 year old bucks for hunters to pursue. Many of our clients in eastern Montana report seeing 20-30 bucks a day while hunting with our outfitters. Our top trophy areas are in the southeastern region in the Tongue and Powder River drainages on big private ranches and in the northeastern portion of the state along the Missouri River breaks and it's tributaries where high deer densities and good numbers of mature bucks make this a mule deer hunting paradise. While we do offer some southwestern and northwestern mule deer hunting it is mainly in combination with elk hunting. Our true trophy mule deer hunts cost between $3,500 and $4,500 depending on the outfitter, ranch, and region being hunted. In any case, our outfitters are all top professionals who will work hard to find you the buck of your dreams.

British Columbia is one of the most overlooked mule deer hunting destinations in all the western states. While not all of the province has quality mule deer hunting, there are some exceptional locations that trophy hunters need to consider. First is the southern region , where the very best trophy hunting is found. This is prime time mule deer habitat and a super diverse season allows hunters to pursue mule deer from September 1 through December 10 each fall. At Steve's Outdoor Adventures we exclusively book the early September hunts above alpine and then the late rut hunts in November and into December as the deer move into their winter range area. Deer here commonly are taken between 150-180 B&C with larger bucks taken every fall. The September hunts are just like those done in western Wyoming above alpine, only there is not a draw required to get a tag. And also unique only to this area is your ability to get a second mule deer tag and hunt for a second buck on a trophy fe e basis. All September hunts are done from horseback out of remote cabin and tent camps. November and December hunts are done from the main ranch & lodging facility using 4wd trucks and ATVs to access hunting areas.

This package automatically includes elk hunting for anyone who buys the license prior to hunt dates. 170-180+ class deer have been taken off of this ranch over the last several years and the property is limited to six rifle hunters each season. The rifle deer licenses are a 95% draw without preference points and 100% draw rate with one or more points. The property is closed to all archery and muzzleloader hunts to maximize the rifle hunting season.

SW Colorado Properties..............................................................................................$4,500.00 + license

We have some excellent properties located south of Dolores, CO and just north of the Ute Indian Reservation. This area produced the current world record typical mule deer and has continued to produce some of the largest trophy mule deer taken in the state each year. We have over 50,000 acres in private ranches under exclusive lease and management at this time. All of our clients will stay in a modern and comfortable lodge and be guided by professional guides during their stay. All hunts include 2x1 guide ratio with 1x1 upgrades available. We will be offering four archery deer hunts at the end of August each year as well as two muzzleloader hunts in mid September each fall as well. However our focus will be on rifle deer hunts in mid October and early November when we take a maximum of ten hunters each season. We expect our clients to take 160-180 B&C class bucks on the average. There is also a special limited entry late season deer hunt in this area which we estimate requires six to seven preference points to draw. Anyone interested in hunting this late season who has preference points should contact our office for special dates, availability, and rates.

Sonora is the top destination for true trophy mule deer hunters. The season is generally between December 23rd and January 25th, after all of the mule deer seasons in the western states have closed. However the cost of the hunting and the relatively mild success rates on trophy bucks scare off many would be Mexico mule deer hunters. Shooting must be fast and quick decisions must be made when hunting in the desert, something not every hunter is ready or prepared to do after spending most of their lives hunting western mule deer which behave and are hunted differently than in Sonora. Many a hunter has come to Mexico and seen the deer of ten lifetimes only to have him slip away into the cactus. We book al of our hunters with an American owned outfitting company who has 90,000 acres in high quality exclusive leases. They took a high percentage of bucks in the 170-190 class including bucks that gross scored in excess of 200 B&C this past season. Cost for these hunts is $7,500 plus trophy fees based on the size of the deer taken, and the small cost of your gun permit. Please call our office today for more information on our quality Sonora mule deer hunts.

New Mexico is another state that offers mule deer hunting. While they do not have the dense deer populations that Wyoming and Montana have, certain regions of the state are very productive and we do have access to some outfitters who have done an excellent job of providing our clients with honest quality mule deer hunts. At this time it is our opinion however that hunters will get much more "bang for their buck" in other western states and we urge you to consider these other options before booking a New Mexico mule deer hunt. Contact our office today for dates and availability on our New Mexico mule deer hunting oportunities.

In recent years Utah has fast become one of the top trophy mule deer hunting states. However, while the state is producing awesome bucks, quality licenses are very hard to draw and the top private ranches can be very expensive to gain access to or book guided hunts. In most cases very good outfitters with land management programs are leasing these properties and selectively harvesting only top end deer each season. These are the only deer hunts we have available at this time, specifically on private ranches enrolled in the state's CWMU program with season dates between early September and mid-November. These ranches vary in size from 10,000 acres to 25,000 acres and all produce top end mule deer bucks.

CWMU Trophy Mule Deer Hunts...........................................................................$7,500.00 + tax and license
