Archery hunts are based on a base price with trophy fees attached.
We charge a flat rate for the hunt, covering lodging, meals, guiding and availability of game.
Our lodging is small cabins with decks, electric heat and lights; a shower and bath house is close by.
We have decided to start to hunt archery as an answer to our many requests from hunters to do an archery hunt with us. We have only been doing archery hunting for a short time and taking outside clients. Dakota Trophy has hundreds of references from our rifle hunters. Our deer have barely been hunted with archery equipment and thus we expect some great trophies as well as very high success.
We will take a limited number of hunters to ensure quality of game! This has been our reputation for nearly 45 years!
Most of the archery hunting is from ground blinds and elevated blinds along with a few tree stands.
The Mule Deer blinds are placed on travel corridors to and from alfalfa hay fields and other crops. While there are Whitetail that travel these same trails, most of the Whitetail blinds are down on river and creek bottoms also placed for maximum opportunity.
Trophy fees will be paid for an animal killed or wounded. By doing trophy fees we feel that you aren’t going to take a marginal or “iffy” shot, thus we have less bad hits to worry about and keep you awake all night.
Archery deer season usually opens the end of September and runs up to the end of the year.
Archery antelope season opens around the middle of August and you can hunt deer and antelope on the same trip! You can also hunt deer with a bow and then pursue the antelope with a rifle during rifle antelope season!
This time of year is beautiful weather and you may want to bring a varmint rifle along and shoot prairie dogs when you’re done filling other tags.
If taking a big, old Muley, whitetail or antelope with a bow is in your plans, please contact us @ Dakota Trophy Adventures and we will assist you.
