BLACKTAIL DEER HUNTS

California Blacktail Deer Hunts

Oak Stone Outfitters offers incomparable Blacktail deer hunting in central California. We have access to roughly 80,000 acres of private land in San Luis Obispo and Monterey County. The habitat consists of rolling oak woodlands that surround valleys. Hunters can expect to see 15-20 bucks per day. The quality of our bucks is hard to beat and with 100% shot opportunity, you are guaranteed an amazing experience. Our particular location is in the southern A zone season, allotting an “over the counter” tag. The A Zone rifle season starts on the second Saturday in August and runs for 45 consecutive days. Management deer hunts are scheduled for three days, trophy and PLM hunts are scheduled for five. Additional days may be added to any of our hunts.

What To Expect

Hunters can expect to be in the field all day with a break for lunch around noon. Our preferred Blacktail deer hunting style is spot and stalk, however we do have strategically positioned tree stands and ground blinds. Accommodations for all levels of hunters and all levels of fitness can be made. Hunters typically arrive at noon one day one, get their weapons sighted in, and head out into the field for an afternoon hunt.

These tags offer the hunter a greater potential at a trophy Blacktail deer since the general season for our area ends the third week in September prior to rut.
