This could be a 3 day, 4 day or 5 day hunt but I have found hunters seeing 30-40 bucks a day they never get past the second day. We are hunting a prime high concentration area. These bucks grow big and they grow fast. We don’t set a minimum but usually are smallest animals taken are 4x4 in mule and whitetail although every year we come home with 5x5 whitetails and a few muley’s to match. Deer tags are still available but move fast they a going out at this time.

What makes this area so productive is that it contains a mixture of alfalfa, wheat, timber breaks, buck brush and draws. This is perfect mule deer country with an extremely high deer density in this area. The season dates are October 23-November 28th. There is no additional cost when hunting the November Mule Deer rut but availability can be a problem. Dates are not secure until deposit is received.

Mule Deer hunting in Eastern Montana is about as good as mule deer hunting can get. Montana is one of the few states with a general season rifle hunt during the mule deer rut in November. Rifle hunting for mule deer during the rut can offer you an excellent chance at bagging a trophy class mule deer. If you have never hunted mule deer during the rut, you’re missing out on an incredible deer hunt that most hunters do again and again.

Trophy Quality

The Mule deer on our ranches sport impressive antlers with good mass, height, and great overall appearance. Mule Deer hunters usually bag mature mule deer bucks with 18" to 28" antlers and a few bucks taken have had extra cheater points.

Hunting Areas

We operate exclusively on private property in Central and Eastern Montana.  We currently have approximately 90,000 acres of private ranch land available to ensure quality hunting.  Our Mule Deer hunts take place near Lewistown and Forsyth, Montana.

Hunting Methods

Hunting methods often include spot & stalk hunting, glassing and spotting open hillsides and brush pockets,  or sitting and watching water holes and feeding areas.  Lots of good hunting country has good vehicle access, so we can accommodate hunters of any physical condition.

Deer Season

Montana is one of few places that has a rifle rut hunt for Mule Deer.  The hunting season is generally 4+ weeks long, starting in late October and ending on the Sunday after Thanksgiving.  There is always a couple weeks overlap of Deer and Antelope seasons, so combo hunts are available in late October and early November.

Archery hunting season opens September 6 to October 19. There are excellent locations for stands and blinds just waiting for you.

Best Time

The seasons are set so that the hunting is good all the way through.  The first two weeks of season are popular with Deer and Antelope combo hunters. Trophy hunters and those who want to experience a rut hunt usually hold out for the rut in mid November.

Shot Opportunity

 Above all what stands out about our Montana mule deer hunts, are the sheer numbers of Mule Deer. It is common for our Mule Deer hunters to see 10 or more bucks in a day. Our deer hunters have had 100% shooting opportunity on mature bucks for several years. Only about 4 hunters did not kill, but they passed numerous mature Mule Deer bucks while looking for trophy class heads and 1 guy wounded a big buck that got away.  Shots often range from 100 to 300 yards, so zero rifles at 200 yards.

Guiding Options

Several guide ratios are offered that include guiding, transportation during the hunt, and game care. 

Accommodations

Motel “Town Hunts”: Stay in town near restaurants and shopping. Motels are only 5 to 50 miles from most hunt areas. Hunters pay for their choice of room and meals.

These hunts are for buck tag filling success not slipper, a bath robe and not leaving until after 9 am.

Things are slightly different for the whitetail hunter

Montana Whitetail Deer Hunting

Whitetail deer hunting in Montana is the best kept deer hunting secret in the west. There are excellent numbers of whitetail bucks inhabiting Bearpaw Outfitters whitetail deer hunting ranches. What's really impressive is how many whitetail bucks per day have been spotted while whitetail hunting on these hunting leases. Many whitetail deer hunters have seen 10 to 30 bucks in a day.

Montana's reputation for trophy Mule Deer hunting has over shadowed it's excellent whitetail deer hunting and most hunters are just learning about these under hunted whitetails in Montana.

Trophy Quality

Montana Whitetails have a reputation for getting big. Antlers on mature bucks are often 16" to 22" or more in width, many have good tine length, and mass.  The abundance of food produces large bodied northern bucks weighing up to 200+ pounds or more.

Shot Opportunity

 Whitetails here are plentiful and bow hunting them during the dry September season over water holes and game trails leading into agricultural fields is very effective. Rifle hunting them during the November rut can also offer a prime opportunity of bagging yourself a trophy class animal. Quality whitetails are more abundant in Montana than in most states, hunters often see numerous mature bucks in a day.  Shots often range from 100 to 300 yards so sight rifles dead on at 200 yards.
