"Draw Blood Policy"

Mule Deer Specialists follows the "Draw Blood Policy" that most outfitters and professional Hunters around the world are using. With this policy in use, it is very important that hunters understand that it is their decision whether or not to take the shot. If the shot is not comfortable, please do not take the shot.

Game Care

Once an animal is harvested, we will field dress and transport your animal to a local processing plant.

Meat processing

Current processing rates in the Craig are approximately $425 for elk processing and $250 deer. This is for butchering, and does not include sausage, jerky, etc.

Lodging in Craig is at a premium during hunting seasons. If you wish to stay in a hotel, you will need to book at least 3 months before your trip. We can provide a list of local hotels upon request.
