Shot Opportunity

Shot opportunity has been 100% most years on these Montana deer hunts. Rifle hunters should sight rifles dead on at 200 yards, most shots range from 50 to 300 yards. Archers should be prepared for shots up to at least 60 yards due to the openess of the country.

Trophy Quality

The mature mule deer bucks are big bodied and hunters usually see 140" or better bucks, and there is potential to see a 170's to 180's class buck on years with good horn growth.

Hunting Areas

To insure quality hunting, Bearpaw Outfitters lease thousands of acres of private ranch hunting land near Miles City in Southeastern Montana, they only take a small number of hunters in order to maintain higher quality bucks.

Hunting Methods

Hunting methods often include spot & stalk hunting, glassing hillsides, draws, fields, and brush pockets, or sitting and watching water holes and feeding areas. Several properties have good vehicle access so physically challenged hunters can also have a great hunt.

Hunting Seasons

Montana is one of the few states that has a rifle rut hunt for Mule Deer. Rifle season generally starts in late October and ends the Sunday after Thanksgiving. There's a couple weeks overlap of Deer and Antelope seasons, so deer/antelope combo hunts are available in late October and early November. Archery hunting season opens in September through mid October. Archery hunters usually hunt from blinds or spot and stalk.

Best Time

The first two weeks of season are popular for Deer and Antelope combo hunts. Hunters wanting to hunt the deer rut plan for mid to late November. Most any time you choose to hunt during the season should be successful.
