The thrill of drawing back on a mature animal at close range is an experience unlike any other in the hunting world. Outdoors International is your expert consulting service, dedicated to connecting serious bowhunters with premier, vetted outfitters and guides who specialize in and truly understand the unique demands of archery hunting. Whether you dream of a spot-and-stalk elk hunt in the Rockies, a treestand vigil for a giant whitetail, pursuing black bears over bait, or an African plains game safari from a blind, we help you find the right "archery-friendly" operation to maximize your opportunity for success, at no extra cost compared to booking direct.

• What Makes an Outfitter "Archery-Friendly"? We look for partners who demonstrate:

  • Proven Archery Guiding Experience: Guides skilled in archery-specific tactics, stalking, judging distance, and shot recovery.
  • Archery-Optimized Setups: Well-placed treestands, ground blinds (for waterholes, bait sites where legal, travel corridors), and knowledge of terrain conducive to stalking within archery range.
  • Dedicated Archery Seasons & Focus: Many of our partners offer hunts during archery-only seasons or have areas specifically managed for bowhunting success.
  • High Opportunity Rates: Outfitters who consistently put bowhunters in close proximity to game.
  • Patience & Understanding: A respect for the bowhunter's need for closer shots and selective opportunities.
  • Practice Facilities: Often, a range is available at camp to ensure your equipment is dialed in.

• Popular Archery Hunting Opportunities Worldwide: We connect bowhunters with exceptional outfitters for a diverse range of species:

  • North American Big Game:
    • Elk: Spot-and-stalk or calling during the rut in Western states (e.g., Montana, Idaho, Colorado, New Mexico, Wyoming, Arizona, Oregon).
    • Whitetail Deer: Treestand or ground blind hunts in the Midwest (Iowa, Kansas, Illinois, etc.), Texas, and across their range, often during pre-rut or rut.
    • Mule Deer: Spot-and-stalk or blind hunting in Western states.
    • Pronghorn Antelope: Decoying, blind hunting over waterholes, or spot-and-stalk in prairie states.
    • Black Bear: Spring or fall hunts over bait (where legal, e.g., Canada, some US states like Idaho, Maine) or spot-and-stalk.
    • Moose & Caribou: Calling and spot-and-stalk opportunities in Alaska and Canada.
    • Wild Turkey: A thrilling close-range challenge from blinds with decoys.
    • Feral Hogs & Javelina: Often from blinds or spot-and-stalk in states like Texas and Arizona.
  • African Safaris (Plains Game): Many African species are ideally suited for archery hunting from well-placed blinds at waterholes or feeding stations in countries like South Africa, Namibia, and Zimbabwe. Pursue Kudu, Impala, Wildebeest, Warthog, Gemsbok, and many more.
  • South Pacific (New Zealand & Australia): Stalking Red Stag, Fallow Deer, Tahr, Chamois, and other species with a bow in stunning landscapes.
  • European Hunts: Opportunities for species like Roe Deer or Wild Boar with specialized archery outfitters.
  • Exotic Game Ranches (USA - primarily Texas): A wide variety of exotic species available for archery hunting year-round from blinds or via spot-and-stalk.

Thank you Outdoors International!

It was an amazing steelhead fishing trip! I brought my dad along with me and we slayed the fish. If you guys aren't applying for the OI Draws, you should. They're legit!

I couldn't believe we won!

We won this fully guided, all-inclusive New Zealand red stag hunt in the OI Draw! I highly recommend this hunt, and Outdoors International—fantastic company, amazing meals, and hunts that are second to none.

Thank you to Outdoors International, all the PH's and their awesome staff. I made some new friends and will be back to Africa again 100%.

My most memorable and rewarding experience.

This was my first guided hunt, and the outfitter was amazing. He was able to keep me motivated and encouraged to hold out for true trophies. I would rate him on an 11 on a scale of 1 to 10! I never thought Africa would be a reality for me. Thank you Outdoors International.
