RIFLE - MULE DEER

THA's Primary Rifle Mule Deer hunts take place in Alberta's top producing Mule Deer zones. Such territories include the eastern slopes Mountain and Foothills regions of the Canadian Rocky Mountains (WMUs 412, 414 & 429), the trophy zones of the southern and eastern Alberta prairies (WMUs 102, 104, 106, 110, 160 & 162) , the Porcupine Hills area in the expansive foothills of southwestern Alberta (WMU 304) and the rural and public forested areas NW of Calgary that lead into the eastern slopes of the Canadian Rocky Mountains (WMUs 318, 320, 324, 326 & 330). No other outfitter approaches THA on overall Mule Deer hunt options and hunter success. Every year, we have amazing results with our mule deer hunters. Our guides are all experienced hunters/guides who live and hunt in, or near, the area in which they are guiding. By utilizing experienced, respected local guides, access to thousands of acres of private ranch properties becomes available to THA hunters. We offer three distinct types of Rifle Mule Deer hunts.

THA offers a wide range of Mule Deer hunts to meet most every requirement of a discerning Mule Deer hunter. Mule Deer are our specialty - we know what we are doing and we get results.

Our official position is that we expect to show our hunters minimum 140 class mule deer or larger. Yes, we do get larger muleys as witnessed by our 4-year average of 160 B&C average score for our mule deer. However, we do not want to in any way mislead any hunter into thinking that he simply has to book a hunt with THA and turn up and that there is then every likelihood that he should have an opportunity at a 190+ class mule deer. We assure you that we have had hunters who, in spite of many communications, hear what they want to hear and not what we have really said. It is extremely important that every hunter is realistic. We want to get the big one just like every hunter who hunts with THA. There is no doubt that we have the best mule deer hunting areas and very experienced guides. These are the criteria that typically ensure a successful hunt and another returning THA hunter.

Transportation for all of our mule deer hunts is primarily in a 4x4. Alberta is big country and the tested and proven method for finding and harvesting trophy mule deer is covering lots of extensive territory, glassing all possible bedding and feeding areas, being in good physical condition and hunting long and hard.

We will find mule deer in their preferred habitat and we know what that is and where it is located. We do not use remote camps for our mule deer hunts since the largest quantity and best quality of mule deer tend to be harvested from more open rural country. This open country has woodlots and some bushes, but frequently consists more of long grasses and brush on huge rolling hills where natural ground blinds, field swales, fence rows and other natural outcroppings allow for stalking these magnificent animals. In our 'Bush' mule deer hunts, there is obviously more cover available to the muleys and, as a result, our 'Bush' muley hunters do not see 'hundreds' of mule deer during their hunt.

As well, we provide low cost optional mule deer hunting as a secondary option on many of our elk and moose hunts. It is important that hunters understand that, on these hunts, mule deer are not as plentiful and are not a priority species that we will spend any real amount of time hunting - unless of course we harvest the primary species early in the hunt. We do not describe our 'Bush' hunts or secondary option mule deer hunts as 'Trophy' hunts, although there are trophy muleys to be had on the these hunts.

We provide free wolf & coyote hunting to all of our mule deer hunters. The odds of seeing a wolf are low in most areas, however, we usually harvest several wolves each hunting season. Alberta coyotes are plentiful and generally larger than typically seen elsewhere.

All our Mule Deer hunts are fully guided with 2 hunters per guide (except the 3-day Trophy hunts which are guided one-on-one) and are all-inclusive (airport service, guiding, accommodation, meals, rough caping & transportation during the hunt). Other than the prerequisite rental vehicle to allow hunters maximum flexibility, with THA there are no hidden, or surprise, charges and no trophy fees. One-on-one guiding is available on most hunts at an additional cost of $1,500/week. Also, non-hunters are welcome at an additional $1,500/week per person.

All hunt pricing is in Canadian funds and tax (6%) and licenses are extra.
