Almost all of our mule deer hunts are conducted in combination with our elk hunts. The 2nd and 3rd seasons are set aside for these combination hunts. All mule deer licenses are a draw for mule deer state wide. As a result, applications must be submitted by the 1st week in April each year. Buck Peak Outfitters draws a number of landowner vouchers each year, but the numbers vary. These will be made available to hunters that are unsuccessful in the draw. Our mule deer herds are doing very well and bucks over 160 B&C are common to the hunter that is willing to pass up many smaller bucks. Success averages over 90% each year. These combo hunts provide the opportunity to hunt deer after the elk hunts in the morning and before the elk hunts in the afternoon as the deer will be active for longer periods of daylight than elk. Some mule deer only hunts may be available each year on a very limited basis. The chance to take home a nice bull and buck, allows our hunters a unique Western experience.
