Our Mule Deer Season opens on September 10, with a Youth Hunt offered September 1–9. Hunters can expect shot opportunities ranging from 300–400 yards.
At the start of the season, we hunt the high country, using horses to reach remote mountain terrain—about a seven-hour ride to our base camp. Camps sit around 7,000 feet, right on the edge of the alpine. While horses help get you from point A to point B, plenty of hiking is required to quietly reach the areas where the big bucks live.
For accommodations, we offer comfortable cabins. After a full day in the mountains, you’ll work up a healthy appetite—our camps are well stocked with hearty, homemade meals, prepared by a camp cook or your guide, depending on camp size and location. Most of our camps are set near alpine lakes teeming with rainbow and cutthroat trout, perfect for an evening of fishing and relaxation.
When the snow starts to fall in the high country the Mule Deer move down to a lower elevation for the rut. From October to the end of the season we have four wheel drive hunts. In the lower mountains there are many access roads that we use to travel from one area to the other. Hiking is necessary to get back off the roads to where the trophy bucks hang out. On the hunt the accommodations are at the lodge at home where we start from each day and to return each night.
The quality of bucks harvested over the past years has been the same in both the early and the late season. We have a 75% success rate on trophy bucks scoring 160 Boone & Crockett and better. The bucks in this area have a lot of mass with deep forks. The average inside spread is 20-30 inches and the outside spread ranges from 20-30o inches with cheaters. Although our deer populations are very good, sometimes they are not visible because of the heavy treed cover which they live in. If you are looking for a trophy mule deer with mass and deep forks in British Columbia’s best mule deer hunting area, this is the place to consider for your next hunt.
