DAKOTA MULEY CO.
Premium Deer/Fishing Trips
Located in Rapid City, South Dakota
Archery Mule Deer - $4,500
Spot and stalk in the open country is a true mule deer hunter’s game. We glass big country from a distance, pick apart draws and ridges, then make a careful, wind‑in‑your‑favor stalk on a specific buck. It’s slow, patient, and intense—every move matters, and every shot is earned.
Rifle Mule Deer - $5,500
Rifle mule deer hunts during the rut are fast‑paced, high‑energy days in big country. As bucks cruise for does, we glass from vantage points, watch travel routes, and move into position when the right deer shows. You’ll experience vocal, visible rut behavior and have the chance to make a steady, ethical shot on a mature South Dakota mule deer.
Archery Whitetail - $3,500
Our whitetail hunts combine classic tree stand setups with spot-and-stalk opportunities. Mornings and evenings are often spent in well-placed stands along travel corridors, food sources, and bedding edges. Midday or when conditions are right, we may slip out on foot to glass, plan a stalk, and close the distance on a mature buck. This mix of patient ambush and active hunting keeps you in the game all day and makes for an exciting, well-rounded South Dakota whitetail experience.
Spring Turkey - $1,250
Experience heart-pounding turkey hunting in the river draws and pine hills. Our spring hunts offer high success rates on Merriam turkeys. Whether you prefer calling from a blind or a more active run-and-gun style, we provide expert guiding for a memorable spring expedition.
Rifle Whitetail - $4,500
Guided rifle whitetail hunts in classic South Dakota deer country. We focus on safe, ethical shot opportunities on mature bucks using a mix of stand hunting and strategic glassing. Perfect for hunters who want a comfortable, guided experience with a strong chance at a quality whitetail.
Walleye Fishing - $250/Day
Hit the Missouri River reservoirs for world-class walleye fishing. Our guided trips include high-end boats, quality tackle, and expert knowledge of the ever-changing bite. Perfect for family outings or a relaxing day between hunts on our premium Dakota waters.
Black Hills Trout Fishing - $200/Day
Climb aboard and chase hard‑fighting trout on the clear lakes and reservoirs of the Black Hills. We fish from a comfortable, well‑equipped boat, working shorelines, points, and structure while you take in the pine‑covered hills and rugged rock outcrops. It’s a laid‑back day on the water with steady action, great scenery, and expert guidance on tactics and tackle.
Rifle / Archery Antelope - $3,000
Antelope hunts on the wide‑open prairie, offered with rifle or bow. Expect long‑range glassing, big views, and classic spot‑and‑stalk or blind sits over water and travel routes. A great option for hunters who want a fun, active Western hunt with plenty of action and shot opportunities.
Prairie Dog Hunting - $300/Day
Spend the day behind the bench picking off prairie dogs across wide‑open South Dakota prairie. These high‑volume varmint hunts are perfect for sharpening your shooting skills, testing different rifles and calibers, and enjoying nonstop action with friends in a relaxed camp atmosphere.
