Deer Hunting with Silver Sage Outfitters

We conduct our hunts in the game rich Prairie Region of Alberta, Canada approximately one hundred miles south-east of Calgary. Our hunts are typically conducted in and around either the Red Deer or Bow River valleys. Both mule deer and whitetail occur in excellent quantities and can be hunted in several fashions including tree stands, ground blinds and spot and stalk.

Archery Hunts

Silver Sage Outfitters provides first class archery hunts for both mule deer and whitetail in some of the finest habitat in North America.

We have two different types of archery mule deer hunts available:

Archery Hunt # 1

Our first hunt is primarily spot and stalk and typically involves glassing up feeding bucks early in the morning, watching them bed and sneaking into shooting range. We usually expect one or two quality shot opportunities over the course of the hunt, which is six days in duration.

Archery Hunt # 2

The second hunt is conducted primarily out of ground blinds and set up in strategic locations around a large alfalfa crop. This hunt is conducted on a private ranch that has a large number of resident bucks that seldom leave the immediate area of the ranch. We attempt to anticipate the route the deer will take upon leaving the crop in the morning and re-entering in the evening. It's not quite as simple as it sounds as there are a dozen or so trails that are frequently traveled. Again, six days of this almost always results in at least one excellent shot opportunity and sometimes two or three should it be necessary.

The advantage here is that the deer tend to be fairly complacent and are coming to you rather than the other way around. In other words, your margin for error is much more forgiving.

Other Archery Opportunities

For an additional fee you can hunt whitetails as well on either hunt. This is usually done on a day rate after you harvest your mule deer.

During the month of September, some of the best antelope hunting in North America can be combined with the spot and stalk mule deer hunt. This combo hunt is highly recommended. Alberta is likely the best kept secret in the antelope archery world. A buck in the 75" - 80" Pope and Young category is a very real possibility.
