Mule Deer hunting in Eastern
Montana is about as good as mule deer hunting
can get. Montana is one of the only 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.
Bearpaw Outfitters suggest
that you come and experience one of the best
mule deer hunts available anywhere. Don't miss
out call today!!!
Trophy Quality
The Mule deer on our ranches
sport impressive antlers with good mass, height,
and great overall appearance. The Budget and
Trophy Mule Deer hunters usually bag
mature mule deer bucks with 18" to 28" antlers
and
a few bucks taken have had extra cheater
points.
The Ultimate Mule Deer Hunt
involves more hunting time so hunters have the
time to hunt more areas in an effort to find the
best buck possible. This hunt usually produces 22"
to 28" muley bucks.
Hunting Areas
We operate exclusively on
private property in Central and Eastern Montana.
We currently have over 90,000 acres of private
ranch land leased to ensure quality hunting.
Our regular and trophy Mule Deer hunts take
place near Lewistown.
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 5 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 opener and the next week are
always popular with Deer/Antelope combo hunters
who will want to book at that time. Trophy hunters
and those who want to experience a rut hunt
usually
hold out for mid to late November when the big
bucks tend to be more visible.
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
We offer the option of
booking your hunt with various guide ratios so
you can build a hunt that best suites your
desires and budget. We have 100% shooting
even with the group hunts year after year.
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. Guide will pick up and
return hunters to their room each day.
Non-hunting guests staying in town are no
charge. Budget about $50 per day for meals and
shared room.
Temperature &
Weather
September will have frosty
nights, but days often warm up to 50 to 70
degrees. October temps often range from 20 to 50
degrees and snow is possible. Check the current
weather forecast with the weather link on the
details page before
you leave for the hunt.
Licenses & Hunter Ed
Deer Tags
are available as outfitter sponsored or general
draw.
Either way the cutoff date is March 15, so don't
put off organizing your hunt! More
information is available on the
details page.
Hunter Education is required if you were born
after Jan 1, 1985.
What’s Not Included
Your personal gear, motel
room, meals, meat processing, taxidermy,
licenses, gratuities, and any other items not

Please review the

Galleries and watch the
Bearpaw Online Hunting Videos.
Then call Dale, Tara, or Anthony and discuss
which hunt will best fit your expectations. Feel

Email or fill out the

Why take a chance on booking a hunt with an
outfitter who is part time, inexperienced, or
operates in a less than desirable hunt area?
Bearpaw Outfitters are experienced full time outfitters who
have been guiding hunters in four of the best
hunting areas in the west for many years.
Dale, Tara, and
their experienced guides look forward to meeting
you and providing you with a truly rewarding

first of many future hunting trips with Bearpaw
Outfitters.
