The deadline for tags requiring the draw is April 1. These draw hunts are Muzzle loader, Rifle #1, and ALL MULE DEER> I would be happy to assist you in drawing if you would like. A 50% deposit is required to book a hunt. I will provide someone to show you the boundaries and acquaint you with the property and explain hunting strategies a day or so before each hunt.
