These 6-day ‘Trophy’ mule deer hunts are operated in WMU 304, one of our most productive mule deer areas in Alberta. This WMU is located in the beautiful Porcupine Hills SW of Calgary and since 2003 our hunters in this zone have experienced 100% harvest on mule deer averaging 160 B&C. Many hunters have reported seeing in excess of 100 mule deer per day in WMU 304. On this hunt, we expect to see numerous 140 class mule deer and every year harvest numerous muleys that score in the 175 to 190+ range. You will hunt on extensive ranchlands in an area where an average ranch is about 4,000 acres. These are almost exclusively spot & stalk hunts with extensive ground coverage in a 4x4 glassing the many hills, draws, coulees, river bottoms, etc. for the biggest mule deer we can find. We should see lots of bucks and the decision will be yours as to whether or not this is the deer for your next stalk. Transportation during these hunts is primarily by THA 4x4 with limited to extensive walking required depending on your level of physical fitness. The better your physical condition, the more unexplored territory you can cover. Usually we have access to horses, ATVs and snowmobiles, when they are required, to retrieve a downed mule deer from a difficult situation. Accommodations are at a working cattle ranch, a guide’s home, a B&B or a local motel. Guiding is 2:1 with optional 1:1 guiding available at an additional cost.
The season for these hunts is from October 25 to November 30.
