The Hunt

About This Hunt

The Blacktail Deer Hunt is a fully guided and outfitted California Central Coast deer hunt for trophy blacktail, with a shorter two-day hunt for management bucks. Hunters pursue deer across productive leases featuring brushy hillsides, oak-covered rolling country, agricultural flats, and juniper-covered terrain.

Lost Valley Outfitters accommodates a range of skill and fitness levels and typically uses spot-and-stalk tactics, while archery hunts may focus on water sources. The hunt includes transportation to and from the field, drinks, snacks, field dressing, trophy care, and our in-house meat processing and skullworks.
