Reviewer Comments: This is a once in a lifetime hunt for serious bowhunters.Booked for next year and every year.The later you book for a mule deer hunt the better.Saw at least a dozen book bucks.Saw 300-400 animals and at least over 100 bucks.This is no BS.We took 2 does,a 8 pt whitetail,4x3,3x3,and a 4x4. We filled 6 out of 7 tags.He allows no guns.You must draw a landowners sponsorship tag to hunt on his land.You rent a 3 bdrm house on the property.You will see 50 deer in front and 50 deer in back of the house before you even start to hunt,this is every morning.There are no guides,you don't need one.Very cheap hunt,Under $1800 and that included the gas to drive from WI.

Reviewer Comments: Powder River Bowhunts is owned by Gene Smith.He is not a licenced outfitter but owns 27 sq. miles of land and you draw landowner sponsorship tags. That's why there are no guides and hunt by yourself.Went in 2002,shot a P&Y antelope and spike buck on the last day of my hunt.Deer and antelope everywhere.You don't need a guide to find the deer,there are plenty around.Saw lots of mature 4x4.Drew tags for 2004.Booked for 2005.

New Mexico Hunting Information

New Mexico is one of the top destinations for trophy Elk and Antelope hunting. Draw odds can be tough depending on the unit but landowner tags are also available for those who don't draw. Mule Deer are plentiful but generally of average size. Only a couple of units and reservations consistently produce big muleys.

Oregon Hunting Information

Oregon is not known to be a trophy big game producing state. That said they do have good quantities of animals such as Elk.

Utah Hunting Information

Utah has recently been outstanding for trophy elk, but the best tags take many years to draw. Utah does have conservation tags available for purchase that allow hunters to bypass the drawing. Given the high demand for these premium tags prices can be high. In the past Utah has been a top trophy mule deer state but recently only a handful of units consistently produce B&C caliber deer.
