Whitetail Bow season runs September 1–30. Our bow hunts are the classic tree-stand hunts, using over 150 portable, lock-on type stands. We scout all summer long, locating stand locations for the opening of the season. As the season unfolds, we continue to scout every day to change stand locations as needed. We feel we give the bow hunter an excellent chance at P&Y class bucks. All hunts guided 3x1 or 2x1. Over the past 30 years our bow hunters average around 70% success.
