Many hunters are starting to realize that although Montana is known for outstanding mule deer hunting, it also has some very impressive whitetail deer. Our guided whitetail deer hunts are conducted on many of the same ranches we hunt for mule deer on.  On our best whitetail lease we have corn and alfalfa close to the whitetail deer bedding areas.  We hunt tree stands with a bow and we hunt the entire rut with a rifle.  Your Montana Deer tag is good for either mule deer or whitetail deer.  Some of our hunters come out for mule deer but go home with a nice whitetail buck instead.  Montana's deer tag can be used for mule deer or whitetail, so sometimes it pays to keep an open mind. Montana is one of the few states that has a rifle season right through the rut. The late season rut hunt can be the hunt you don't want to miss.
