This will be a hard hunt to beat. The price
is expensive, but it was supposed to be for an
antelope/mule deer combo. I did not draw the antelope tag, so I
ended up hunting only the mule deer. Floyd Mitchell, the
proprietor, works extremely hard at getting his customers a good
trophy. He and his guides are protective of the smaller animals
and will not allow guests to shoot them.
Your daily hunt begins before sunup and you
generally are not back at the camp until after dark. The food
at the camp is absolutely wonderful. We ate mule deer every
night for supper, cooked in various ways, all of them good.
Breakfasts were good, and lunches were simple sandwiches packed
for us to take into the field. The camp holds a maximum of nine
hunters. During my week, there were seven hunters in the camp.
We all filled our tags by the third day. Four of the hunters
had antelope tags, which were also filled by the third day.
After filling your tag, you are allowed to hunt to sharptailed
grouse, prairie chickens, coyotes, and prairie dogs. This hunt
is highly recommended.
