As mentioned, Jodi and I run a private land outfitting business, WeScout4u Inc. Follow along for the next few weeks and see how us deer hunters make a side living.
Myself and my licensed guides, muleyman (Tyler Williams) and Rumrz (Matt Capson) will be guiding 13 hunters between Oct 10 and Oct 21st right here in good ol' Southeast Idaho.
I start the October 10th hunt guiding Daryl of Henderson, Nevada for a good mule deer. Daryl has hunted with us for five years and killed one of our best bulls:
but what he really wants is one of the good bucks he sees each year on the ranches we manage. He's got the patience of a mule and this could be his year. I've found two good bucks and it will only be us hunting them. Our buck hunting is tough due to the October dates, but because of our conservative management, we grow some good ones:
Then on October 15th, we'll start our rifle bull elk hunt. We have a dozen hunters on our 25,000 acres and we've never fallen below 70% success and we've killed at least one 320-340 bull every year, so it's usually action-packed.
With what we've seen scouting after the mild winter, I expect this year to be just as good. If you followed the Nate Mabie hunt, you saw one of the good bulls we've seen this year.
So come along and see what it's really like to go on a guided hunt. I advertise these hunts as semi-guided for guys who don't need their hand held but want a good place to hunt. We typically get pretty good hunters and about half of them kill their elk without the guide. We split three guides among 12 hunters, so some guys are hunting alone each day and love that option. These hunters bring and cook their own food, so we just focus on the guiding and gutting.
It's gonna get crazy around here...
