Oxbow Outfitters

Overview

We employ several different hunting tactics depending on the weather, hunters abilities, food sources, and rutting activity. These deer have larger home ranges and are harder to pattern than deer in areas with limited forest cover and concentrated food sources but they still have predictable traits. They favor edges created by two different cover types, such as where a hardwood ridge grades to a softwood swamp. They use stream bottoms, saddles, and long, sloping shelves as travel corridors. Although we try to cater to everyone's needs and abilities the most successful method for us has been from tree stands or blinds overlooking key areas.
