Embarking on a hunting expedition for sizable mountain mule deer bucks during the rut is an exhilarating endeavor worth considering. The advantage of rifle hunting during the rut grants our clients a tremendous opportunity to harvest a mature and impressive mule deer buck. Our mule deer are renowned for their robust build, substantial antlers, and deep, formidable forks. Occasionally, we even harvest bucks boasting non-typical points. These deer typically inhabit alpine basins and dense timber until the rut commences, which typically falls within the first two weeks of November. Once the does enter estrus, nothing can deter these bucks from tending to their mates.
This pursuit offers an exciting chance to chase one of the most coveted big game animals in North America. Our primary hunting methods include spot-and-stalk techniques, monitoring food sources, and conducting long-distance glassing.
It's worth noting that your hunting tag allows you to target either a mule deer buck or a whitetail buck, as our hunting area accommodates both species of deer. Many of our clients opt for combo hunts, seeking both elk and deer during their expedition, making it a multifaceted and rewarding adventure.
