Eastern Montana Mule Deer Hunting
Trophy Mule Deer Hunting in the Badlands of Montana.
This Montana mule deer hunting outfitter offers an incredible experience for hunters looking to combine a great hunt with a touch of comfort. In the badlands of Eastern Montana, our hunters have access to a vast expanse of both private and public land. This area provides a unique backdrop with expansive canyons, rolling plains, and rugged hillsides – prime mule deer country that allows hunters to experience true backcountry hunting.
Guided hunts here offer flexibility to suit all experience levels. For those eager to cover ground, guides often lead hikes into canyons and remote areas with low hunting pressure, maximizing the chance to spot trophy bucks in untouched landscapes. Alternatively, hunters can glass large stretches of land from strategically chosen vantage points, reached by 4×4 vehicles. These vehicles not only add convenience but make it possible to explore more ground without the need for extreme physical exertion.
After a day in the field, you’ll return to a comfortable “elk-style” camp. This base camp provides an inviting atmosphere with all the amenities needed to relax, recharge, and share stories of the day’s hunt. Mornings begin early as hunters set out into the vast Montana terrain, ready to make new memories and perhaps bag the mule deer they’ve been dreaming of.
Montana Deer Applications are due by April 1st.
These hunts tend to book up a year in advance. If you are interested in a hunt with us please inquire today to get started on your hunt of a lifetime.

Montana Mule Deer Hunting Combos
These are trophy Montana deer hunts during the rut in southeast Montana on private ranches in prime deer country. Typically this hunt hits the peak of the rut and the bucks will be moving all day. Montana uses a preference point system for licensing. The Big Game combo tag may be used for this hunt, but having preference points makes it easier to acquire a license.
Options range from a 2-state, 2-buck deer hunt in both Wyoming and Montana, to a 1-state deer.
Lodging is provided on all hunts with all the comforts of home. Breakfast and dinner are cooked and served at the lodge. Lunches are packed and taken along daily to the field. You will not go hungry! No matter wher you are hunting, can rest assured that ranches are carefully managed for trophy quality and success. If you hunt during November during the rut, you can hunt either a whitetail OR mule deer. There are good numbers of both species.
You can also combo your deer hunt with a pronghorn!
The pronghorn antelope and pronghorn/deer combo hunts are conducted in both Wyoming and Montana. In Wyoming they hunt the north east corner near the town of Colony, and in Montana, they hunt the 700 region in the south-east corner around the town of Alzada. These hunts are physically easy with large numbers of game seen, and success rates running between 95 and 100% on antelope bucks averaging over 14 inches.
- This is a draw hunt, but hunters will most likely draw. You can actually put in for Montana, and if you don’t draw you still have time for Wyoming.

Tyler Roles –
I couldn’t of asked for a better trip even with the outfitter saying it was a down year with the drought we were able to see countless deer and did not have any issues getting an opportunity. I was lucky enough to fill both of my tags with a Muley and a whitetail.
Jeff Weber –
Fantastic Trip. Kyle lined us up with Trophies Plus in Montana. I can’t say enough about the outfitter and Kyle’s service. Kyle is great about communication and checking in throughout the process. We killed some great bucks. Definitely going to rebook this hunt.
