5-Day California Archery Blacktail Deer Hunt

Trip Description
This 5-day backcountry archery hunt takes place in California’s Santa Lucia Mountains, where hunters pursue elusive blacktail deer in rugged, untamed terrain. Designed for those who want a true Western experience, this hunt involves hiking, glassing, and stalking mature bucks in remote country. Hunters can choose between trailhead-based access or full backpack-style hunts, making this a physically engaging and rewarding pursuit.
