Bowlin Camps has a long history of successful trophy whitetail hunting. Since 1895 the camps have always been very successful. Many of our repeat customers have the deer well located and return each season with great results. The traditional method for hunting true wilderness bucks has been still hunting or stalking. This method can be very successful especially once the snow hits. We have also found that stand hunting is equally if not more successful. Hunters coming for their first hunt may purchase the services of a guide for one or two days. This gives the hunter some much-needed experience in one of the deer pockets that contain a good buck.

Stand hunting the many pockets of known deer country is becoming very popular. Wilderness whitetails do not have a lot of contact with humans and have distinct patterns. Patience, good observation techniques, and proper stand placement is often the best combination for taking booth deer and bear during the November season. Make sure you bring good gear, a sighted rifle, and a determination to hunt each day, all day! Mental attitude is one of the most important factors with successful hunters.
Our big bucks dress well over 200 pounds and score consistently in the 140 range. Deer this size did not grow big by making mistakes, so the hunter must be flexible, determined and ready for that one or two second opportunity. We look forward to having you hunt with us for seasons to come, so take the time to make your stay with Bowlin Camps a good one.
This is big country up here so map and compass skills are important. We are always glad to give you a refresher when you arrive. Just ask any one of the guides for some help.

The key factors that affect our deer pockets are mast, cover and snow. The predominate mast crop is beechnuts. We do have some isolated oak ridges which our guides know well. Drought, logging, cover and early frosts can be important factors in how the deer move during the season. We give all our hunters a good brief on the status of these factors.

Our goal is to put you on a good buck so come ready to hunt! We guarantee you our best effort every day!
