Mule deer hunting in the Missouri River Breaks of northeastern Montana is something every hunter needs to experience. This is vast open country where a buck can be "glassed up" from miles away and hunters can see a dozen or more bucks per day. Couple that with the possibility of finding a real trophy class mule deer makes this hunt difficult to overlook. Tags must be drawn but are not too difficult to acquire. With a years planning, permits for this hunt can almost be guaranteed.

Most hunting is done from a boat on the Fort Peck Lake where you will cruise the shoreline glassing the hillsides and deep canyons. This lake has over 1,500 miles of shoreline so there is far more country available than can be hunted in a week. When a good buck is spotted, hunters will be dropped off on shore to begin the stalk. A rifle hunt during the mule deer rut when the big mature bucks are less wary is possible. This outfitter also has close to 100,000 acres of private land available to his hunters.

Lodging is in a comfortable ranch house a short drive from the lake. Being able to return to a warm dry house after a long and cold day of hunting can be huge in being prepared for the next day. Hot home cooked meals, a warm shower and a comfortable bed all go a long ways in helping to make a hunt fun and successful.

A pronghorn can also be added to this mule deer hunt for those that draw a tag. Due to it's reasonable cost, a mule deer and pronghorn combo hunt has become one of the most highly sought after hunting trips the past few years. A pronghorn can be added to this hunt for $1,000.
