Whitetail Hunting in Buffalo County

Typical Day, Seasons, Dates, License Info and Rates

Typical Day

Starts by waking up to that good old alarm clock annoying you like crazy and wondering why you have to get up so early. A quick scent free shower wakes you up and gets you motivated to get out to the deer stand, but first you can mow down a continental breakfast. Startled by the knock of the hunting guide on the door, you ready yourself for the deep woods of Buffalo County. The guide hands you your sack lunch for the day filled with Prime Rib and Lobster…Come on! You didn’t think that was going to really happen, did you? Actually, we provide some great sandwiches, snack, and drink.

The guide will take you to your stand or very close to it. Then you wait for that crunching of leaves coming to you, your heart starts pounding, your hands start trembling and find out it's only a squirrel finding its first nut of the day. Now that you're prepared and trying to calm down, you wait for that buck of a lifetime. If you don’t see or harvest one you would like to take, your guide picks you up at the end of your hunt. You then head back to a great meal provided by our head chef or we go out on the town for some great dining.

Archery Season

Our Archery season typically runs from the third weekend in September through the second weekend in November with the Rut starting around the end of October. Our Rifle season starts the weekend before Thanksgiving and normally is 9 days long. Our Muzzleloader season starts the day after Rifle season.

September Hunts; Are evening hunts only.

October 5-15: Hunts are morning and evening hunts. Guides will pick you up at the lodge and take you to your destination.

October 16- Until last day 1st season archery- all hunts are all days sits. We want you to be in your stand when that buck of a lifetime is chasing that doe right by you, and you are able to harvest that dream buck.

Rifle season

The first two days is stand hunting only and then we start making pushes for you the next three days.  Once the big bucks get pressured a little bit, they don't like to move as much.  So we do some pushes and try and send one in your direction.

License

Hunting license is over-the-counter but needs to be purchased 3 days prior to your hunt. You can purchase your license on the phone and on the internet: Wisconsin DNR. Check with the Wisconsin DNR for the latest season dates, fees and hunting rules.  You may have your license mailed to you or to us. We will hold license for you until you arrive.

Scent Control

We believe scent control is one of the biggest factors when it comes to bagging a mature whitetail. We recommend 5 different sets of clothing for your scent elimination. We do check on this daily.
