The South Dakota Game Fish and Parks Commission has changed the opener of the South Dakota archery deer season to start September 1. This gives us a great chance to take a big velvet Whitetail with archery equipment.


Outfitter: Routier Outfitting

Location: NW South Dakota in Harding County. Closest towns would be Buffalo or Camp Crook

Weapons: Archery

Species: Whitetail Deer


Hunting Dates: Archery season is 9/1/2018 – 12/31/2018

License Deadline And Fees: Archery licenses are $286 and they are guaranteed even though you have to send in a application. There is no application deadline.


Prices And Packages: Archery hunts are five full days of hunting at $1500 for the hunt plus $1500 if you draw blood. + 6% South Dakota sales tax.


This includes all of your guides, lodging and meals. You stay right on the ranch in the lodge and have your own bedroom and share a bathroom. Meals are home cooked ranch style meals and occasionally restaurants. If you are allergic to anything or have special meal needs please let us know.

This will be spot and stalk, blind and tree stand hunting. We do have food plots just for the deer that are fenced out from the cattle. These hunts are all on private land working cattle ranches.
