Idaho & Utah Mule Deer Hunting


Mule Deer are one of the most sought after species in North America. Bearpaw Outfitters specializes in Mule Deer hunting. By hunting the best areas of Idaho and Utah we are able to offer three distinctly different Mule Deer hunts with fully guided or unguided trips available.

1. Southeast Idaho Mule Deer
Our Southeast Idaho hunting area consistently produces some very large heads, with a few 30"-40" racks taken in the area every year. A quick look at the record books will confirm the quality of the horn growth in this area. The Mule Deer here have extremely good genetics and the soil is rich with minerals that promote horn growth. Horns grow heavy and high, and there is an unusually high ratio of non-typicals. Every year we see our biggest bucks on these Idaho hunts. Obviously, we can't guarantee you will see one of the really large bucks, but as you know, in order to kill big bucks you have to hunt where big bucks live. Our camps are located in the best areas of the high mountains and on the finest private ranches. Best of all we have a quota for licenses in this area, you don't have to draw to hunt. Licenses are guaranteed.

2. Utah Private Ranches
Our leased ranches provide some outstanding deer hunting. Last year shooting opportunity ran 97% overall. Most hunters get opportunities at 3x3 or 4x4 bucks with 15" to 24" spreads. Last year two really nice 26" and 30" class bucks were missed which we believe are still on the property. Because the deer population is so high here, this is our best hunt for the hunter who wants the best chance to bag a buck. The guides usually spot 10 to 100 deer daily, with 1 to 10 bucks seen most days. Bagging a buck is mainly dependent on your shooting ability. Most shooting will be 50-250 yards. Because these ranches are so much fun to hunt, re-bookings are higher than ever so give us a call now to reserve one of these hunts. We have a limited number of landowner tags available, so you do not need to draw a tag. Licenses are guaranteed.

3. Utah Limited-Draw Hunt
Hunting for mature bucks is excellent, with a good chance to see bucks in the 24" to 28" class. There were about a half dozen bucks in the 30"+ size taken in the area last year. We urge you to apply for these permits, you can't draw if you don't apply. Each year you'll receive a preference point which increases your odds of drawing the next year. Just do it. If you don't draw, and still want to hunt, I'll switch you to a Utah Ranch Hunt or an Idaho Hunt, we have guaranteed tags for either of those two hunts. Let us know that you want to be on our list of applicants to apply for the limited-draw hunt next year (Applications must be in by January for this hunt).
