Trophy Quality

Most mature bucks on the private ranches will have 22" to 26" racks with an occasionally 30" or larger buck spotted. Some of the biggest bucks are found in limited-entry areas. Give Dale a call, he will advise you of the best option for the type of bucks you want to hunt.

Hunting Areas

Bearpaw Outfitters hunt private ranches in northern Utah and limited-entry units scattered around Utah. The hunt areas are usually in awesome looking country with elevations ranging from 5500 to 9500 feet.

Hunting Methods

Hunting methods often include glassing & spotting openings, hillsides, and thickets, spot & stalking, watching water holes, or still hunting trails and ridges.

Mule Deer Seasons

Our Utah CWMU rifle mule deer hunt is Oct 1 to Nov 10. The general rifle hunt is in late October. Bow season starts August 15. Muzzleloader is in early Nov.

Best Time

This depends on the area, rifle mule deer hunting is usually best on the CWMU ranch the first week in Oct, the last 5 days of Oct, or the first 10 days of Nov.

Shot Opportunity

Shooting opportunity usually averages 90% to 100% on the guided hunts. Shots may range from 100 yards to as far as you can reliably shoot. Sight rifles dead on at 200 yards. Flat shooting, long range calibers are best.

Guiding Options

Guided Hunts:  Choose 1 to 3 hunters per guide. Hunts include your guide, whatever lodging is available in the area, modest guide prepared meals, field dressing, game retrieval, skinning, and caping.

Semi-Guided:  Hunts include a guide who provides hunting directions, whatever lodging is available in the area, modest guide prepared meals, and help with game retrieval, skinning, and caping. You will hunt mostly on your own.

DIY Hunting Map:  Perfect for Do-It-Yourself hunters who are self sufficient and want to hunt on their own, The map will show at least four good hunting areas that you can access on public accessible lands.

Accommodations

Cabin or Tent Camp:  We prefer to rent one of the rustic cabins in the local area, if a cabin is not available we may have to set a spike camp. Modest guide prepared meals are also included with the guided and semi-guided hunts.

Motel “Town Hunts”:  Stay at a comfortable motel in town. BPO will pick up & return guided hunters daily. Semi-guided and unguided hunters drive themselves. Motel rooms and restaurant meals are not included, budget for these expenses.

Equipment

Bearpaw Outfitters have all the needed equipment. Semi-guided hunters may want to bring their own UTV or arrange for a rental, Dale can advise rentals.
