Attention Archers: 3 Premium Deer Hunts for 2024

by Matthew Gindorff

Method of Take: Archery

As an archer, it can be challenging to find destinations that understand the differences between guiding archers and guiding rifle or gun hunters. I’ve been to many camps with my bow in hand and realized that they aren’t accustomed to meeting the needs of an archer. Not that I’m demanding something special! But effectively placing stands, creating shooting lanes, and conducting stalks can be the difference between delivering a good arrow or never having the chance to bend the limbs!

The outfitters listed below are archers themselves and they’re dedicated to the success of their guests. They’ve chosen to focus on guiding archery-specific clients and I highly recommend them as great options for 2024!

1. Spot-and-Stalk Alberta Mule Deer

Dates: September 1–6  2024 (2 Spots)

This is possibly one of the best value hunts for an archer because trophy-class mule deer are tougher than ever to find! Undoubtedly, the plains and broken hills of southern Alberta is some of the most prime mule deer country in North America. Big mature bucks love the low human inhabitance of this part of the world where they can grow old and find abundant cover and nutrients. This is a spot-and-stalk game where you spend many hours covering ground and glassing to uncover a mature buck who has put himself in a good spot for a stalk. This outfitter takes only four archery mule deer hunters per season, with literally thousands of acres to cover! Generational ranchers in this area who know their deer and where they live! Lodging is a cabin at the ranch and home-cooked meals will fuel you throughout your stay. It is a great opportunity for an upper-class deer with wonderful people.

2. Rut Hunt South Dakota Whitetails

Dates: November 11–15, 2024 (2 Spots)

This archery-only destination takes a maximum of 8 bow hunters per year, and these are the only deer hunters on the property for the entire season. Hunting only the pre-rut into the rut during the first two weeks of November gives archers the best opportunity to harvest a great trophy! A generational ranching family who knows their deer and specifically targets mature bucks, this destination is a must for the archery die-hard. With over 100,000 acres, hunts are conducted from ground blinds, ladder stands, and the occasional lock-on stand located in transition areas, wood lots, and food plots. If chasing whitetails in the Dakotas has ever been on your bucket list, now is the time to jump on this adventure!

3. Late-Season North Dakota Whitetails

Dates: November 11–15, 2024 (3 Spots); December 11–15, 2024 (3 Spots)

When people think of big late-season whitetails, they think of drawing a coveted Iowa tag. Well, let me tell you, if you’re one of the unfortunate ones who are unable to pull that tag or you don’t have enough points to get it done, you might want to head north to North Dakota! The late season with this outfitter has been highly productive for quite some time! With ground blinds strategically placed on large food plots, these deer congregate on the food as they would down south. A beautiful lodge and a tremendous amount of private acreage make this an excellent option for the archer. Between early season, November rut hunts, and the late season, this destination will see a maximum of 12 deer hunters per year.

If you’re an archer looking for a great opportunity to hunt with your bow this Fall, don’t miss these beautiful destinations. Great adventures are hosted by wonderful people who understand the needs of archery hunters and would love to have you in camp! Contact WTA today for more information.
