Hunt Info for Tall Tine Outfitters

At Tall Tine Outfitters, while the majority of our hunts are bowhunts, we also offer shotgun and muzzleloader hunts. Some properties have been managed as archery only for several years. Camp sizes are kept to 12-15 hunters per week to ensure flexibility and to keep hunting pressure to an absolute minimum. Only trophy bucks are to be taken and all hunts have a strict minimum antler score of 140" using the P&Y scale. Hunters hunt at their own pace with TTO. No itinerary to follow makes for a more relaxing and enjoyable hunt. Prescouting is done for you and nearly 300 tree stands and blinds are in place and ready to hunt from. Stand sites are selected based on current travel, feeding, and rutting patterns. Hunters are welcome to bring their own stands if they wish. Deer in the 130" to 170" range are very common and several exceeding 170" are seen and taken every year.
