Whitetail Hunting Seasons

Archery season is Sept 1-26, Muzzleloader season is Sept 27 to Oct 5, Rifle season is Oct 11-24 and Nov 8-19.

Shot Opportunity & Trophy Potential

Shot opportunity is expected to be 50% to 80% on the guided private land hunts. Only a limited number of hunters are taken each season. This isn't a trophy hunt, but we have taken some big bucks. It's your choice to pass or shoot the bucks you see.

Whitetail Hunting Methods

We hunt mostly in blinds watching food plots, agricultural fields, orchards, logging cuts, game trails, or waterholes. We prefer making the least impact possible when hunting, we want wildlife to feel safe on the properties. As a result there are more deer on the properties through the season. Your guide will pick you up and drop you off at your blind, the blinds are big enough you can stand up and stretch without getting out and spooking deer. We also hunt productive public land mountain areas, these mountain hunts are more agressive, we like to hike old logging roads, glass clear cuts and hillsides, and sometimes watch water holes when weather is dry.

Physical Condition

Your physical condition is not too important when hunting in the blinds on the private lands. But, hunters in good physical condition are more suited for hiking into the more remote mountain areas in search of big bucks.

Temperature & Weather

Check the Weather Channel check the forecast before leaving for your hunt. September usually has 60-90 degree days with the possibility of chilly nights. October days are usually 30-60 degrees with 25-35 degree nights. November days are usually 20-50 degrees with 10-35 degree nights and rain or snow is more likely.

Accommodations

Meals are served in the lodge dining area, there are five cabins, each cabin sleeps 2 to 4 people, there's a lighted game cleaning area with a water hose for cleaning, and we have freezers for storage. Motels are only 10 minutes away in Colville for hunters who would rather stay at a motel.
