Description

Swan Mountain Outfitters is a premier mule deer hunting guide service. Of all the species we hunt, we consistently produce excellent mule deer. There is nothing prettier (or tastier) then a mountain Muley and the mule deer in our area are among the best in the state of Montana on public land. We can either provide a guided mule deer hunt exclusively, or in combination with elk, whitetail and bear.

Montana mule deer are not the same all over, and the mountain mule deer in our area in not like the mule deer you will find in the deserts in other western states, or in the plains in the eastern part of Montana or elsewhere. Mountain mule deer eat different browse that result in large antler base mass, as well as deep chocolate coloration of the antlers. Our guided mule deer hunts are done off of horseback.
