Whitetail
The whitetail are hunted on approximately 50,000+ acres of private leases in Crook County, Wyoming. We feel we have put together large leases of some of the very best whitetail country in the county. We have had most of these leases for over fifteen years.

Bow season runs September 1–30. Our bow hunts are hunted from over 100 portable stands and portable ladder 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.

Over the past 18 years our bow hunters average around 65% success. The shooting opportunity at P&Y class deer is about 90%.

Our 2011 bow season was another outstanding season. Our 35 clients harvested 25 whitetail bucks, for a 72% success rate. However, they were 31 for 35 shooting—an 88% rate. This includes 9 misses and 5 cripples. Bucks averaged 126 P&Y. The largest bucks taken include a 150, 146, 145 and a couple right at 140 P&Y.

The 2010 bow season was outstanding! Many good bucks were taken and seen. Our 28 hunters harvested 24 bucks, making it an 86% actual kill. There were an additional 5 misses and 7 cripples. The hunters were 27 for 28 making this a 96% shooting opportunity. The largest buck taken was a 148, with a 127 average.

2009 was a frustrating bow season. With all of the prior scouting, we were seeing many good bucks, but with the very hot temperatures it always seemed that the big bucks were illusive. However, 33 hunters harvested 20 bucks, making this a 60% success rate. There were an additional 8 misses and 4 cripples. The largest buck taken was a 145 and we had a 123 average.

Our rifle season takes place the month of November. Our hunts are guided either 2x1 or 1x1. We use a few different methods of hunting, including tree stands, closed-in box stands, blinds, still hunting, rattling, and spot and stalk. Over the years our hunters have averaged 80% to 100% success.

The 2011 season didn't quite turn out the way we had planned, going out of the bow season. We were seeing some really good bucks in September and we had hoped to see and harvest more of them. However, it turned out to be a good rifle season. Our 36 hunters harvested a total of 33 whitetail bucks. They were 34 for 36 shooting and the average was 133 B&C. The largest was a 162 B&C with several other bucks grossing over 140.

The 2010 Rifle season was one of our best. Our 40 rifle whitetail hunters harvested 40 bucks. Many good bucks were taken and with the many opportunities at great bucks that were missed, the overall could have been even better on our bigger deer. Our November average was at 140 BC; 5 bucks were over 150, with 171 being the largest. Over the past eighteen years our rifle hunters have averaged over 90% success. The average buck taken through the years, overall, was over 135 BC. With the nuymber of older age-class bucks and other good bucks that were not harvested this past season, the next years should be outstanding.

The 2009 rifle season was very successful. However, there were many missed opportunities at some very good bucks. This could have really changed the overall success. 45 rifle hunters harvested 40 bucks for an 88% success rate. Our November average was a 135, with the largest buck taken 160, with 5 others over 150.
