Whitetail Hunting Seasons
Archery Season is open from Sept 1 to
late Dec, Bearpaw Outfitters prefer to hunt the first week of September for the
best success. Rifle seasons are open in Oct and Nov, Bearpaw Outfitters prefer to
hunt from about November 4-19, this is when the bucks begin to rut and we have the
best success.
Shot Opportunity
& Trophy Potential
Shot opportunity is normally 90% or better, this is
the place to go in Washington for the best odds of filling your deer tag. Some large bucks are
taken in the area every year and our hunters have taken some good ones too, but this isn't a trophy
hunt. It's entirely your choice what buck you want to pass or shoot. Most of the older larger bucks
are taken in the mountain areas where the success rate is lower, but the highest success rates occur
on the private ranches, most of these farm bucks are three years or younger.
Whitetail Hunting Methods
On the private ranches we hunt in blinds
at food plots, bait sites, alfalfa fields, orchards, game trails, or waterholes. Because
hiking scares deer off the properties we do not allow hunters to hike on the private
ranches, we want the properties to be like a sanctuary where the deer aren't pushed by
hunters. After we started hunting this way our success increased greatly. Your guide will
pick you up and drop you off at your blind. In the public land mountains areas we drive
or hike on old logging roads, in clear cuts, or on mountain ridges and sometimes watch
bait sites or water holes. The mountain areas work out best for hunters who want to get
out and hike.
Physical Condition
Physical condition is not that important
when hunting in blinds on the ranches or if hunting the easier areas in the mountains.
Hunters in good physical condition can hike into the more remote areas in the mountains.
Temperature & Weather
Check the
Weather Channel before leaving for your hunt.
September usually has 60-90 degree days with the possibility of frosty
nights. October days are usually 30-60 degrees with frosty nights.
November days are usually 20-50 degrees with 10-35 degree nights and
rain or snow is possible.
Hunt & Guiding Options
Guided Hunt:
Includes a guide with 4x4 vehicle, lodging, meals, field dressing, retrieval, and
skinning. This is the most popular hunt but this hunt is not a guaranteed hunt.
Guaranteed Hunt:
If you've had bad luck deer hunting this may be the hunt for you. This is just
like the guided hunt except if you don't get a shot opportunity you can return
for another hunt at half price.
Unguided Hunt:
Includes lodging, meals, directions where to hunt, a DIY Hunting Map, and use
of the game cleaning area. Bring your 4x4 vehicle to access the hunt areas.
DIY Hunting Map:
Wayponts for at least 4 proven hunting areas will be sent to you to download
onto onx maps on your phone. This gets you into good hunting country and saves
you hundreds $$$ in fuel and time wasted searching for where to hunt. No other
services are included with the DIY Map.
Accommodations
Meals are served in the lodge dining area,
there are five cabins, each cabin sleeps 2 to 4 people, and there's a lighted game
cleaning area with water. Motels are only 10 minutes away in Colville for hunters who
would rather stay at a motel.
