Montana Mountain Mule Deer Hunting

There is nothing prettier (or tastier) then a mountain Mulley and the mule deer in our area are among the best. All of our hunts are combination multi-species hunts, but what we believe we are best at is mountain mule deer. Over the years, we have produced outstanding mule deer success, with nearly every hunter going home with a great deer. In fact, in the past three years we have taken several deer with antler spread greater then 30 inches, and scores nearing 200 B&C.

Mountain mule deer are not the same as the mule deer you will find in the deserts in other western states, or in the plains in the eastern part of Montana or elsewhere. Mountain mule deer eat different browse that result in large antler base mass, as well as deep chocolate coloration of the antlers. The mule deer grow quite large, and it is not uncommon for a deer to exceed 300 pounds in weight fully dressed out.

Trophy mule deer hunting in the backcountry using spike camping has been quite successful for us and allows hunters to learn a different set of hunting tactics vs. elk hunting. But don't forget to bring your high country boots. Our mule deer love the high country!

All of our hunts are combination hunts, but if you would like to schedule a trophy "mule deer only" hunt, just let us know and we'll make all the arrangements.
