1.     Is there a deposit required?

2.     What quality/size of animals can I expect to see and hunt?

        It is quite typical during the hunt day to see multiple mature whitetail bucks in the

        range.  Our  largest buck to date was harvested in 2014 and had a gross score of 209".  

        However, once  again, we do not guarantee harvest or size.    

        A typical mule deer in this area is 24"-26" wide and scores in the 150"-170"  range.
