How we rank: Outfitters are ranked by a credibility-weighted rating that blends each outfitter's verified Google star rating with how many reviews back it up — so a strong average from many hunters outranks the same average from only a few — then by the breadth of mule deer packages they offer (live inventory, last updated September 2026). Prices, ratings and review counts come straight from each outfitter's current listings — always confirm details before you book.
That's the short answer. The roster below carries the other nine, with price, rating and what's included for each.
Why does half the roster show no price?
Five of the ten outfitters below don't list a price online at all. That's not a gap in the data — it's how a real slice of the Montana market operates, especially at the guided, base-camp end. A blank price means call and ask, not "cheaper" or "hidden."
Nobody else ranks these outfitters against each other
Every other page you'll find on this question is one outfitter's own marketing copy. None of them puts Montana's mule deer outfitters side by side with real review evidence attached. This page does, computed across every outfitter actually running mule deer hunts in the state.

Hunting for the second year in a row with Trophies West and they put me on another trophy Mule deer again this year. First class operation and skilled guides…
This is a great family run business that does things the right way. I completed the opening week base camp elk hunt in Hell's Half Acre a week ago and have been thinking about the hunt since then. This area is as remote as you'll find in the lower 48 and is filled with untamed wilderness…
