Monarch Valley Whitetails’ hunt packages are designed for your interests, your trophy desires, and your skill level—advanced hunters and novices alike find their niche here. We offer two types of hunting packages: Fully-Guided Ranch Hunts and Semi-Guided Open-Range Hunts.
Fully-Guided Ranch Hunts
This package is for the trophy hunter who’s committed to monster whitetail bucks. Your guide will hunt with you and move with you to guarantee you a well-positioned trophy buck sighting and give you an approximate trophy score. If the trophy meets your high standards, the shot is up to you.
Semi-Guided Open-Range Hunts
This package is for the discriminating, experienced hunter. You’ll hunt your way on our land where large-bodied, heavily antlered whitetails flourish. Your guide will strategize with you and help you get to and from a hunting location. Once in place, it’s all up you and your time-tested technique.

Shared Lodge & Bedrooms
Hunting and Shooting Standards
We hold all our hunters to the standards below. The only difference being that Fully-guided ranch hunters will have the full support of guides to ensure standards are met. Semi-guided open-range hunters must be able meet these standards when they are in the field, on their own.
Antler Restrictions
Our record book trophies are due to an investment in high-quality deer and restricting hunting to mature, large-bodied bucks. Semi-guided open-range hunters must follow our “outside the ears” policies to ensure only bucks 16″ wide SCI or greater are shot. Fully-Guided Ranch hunters have guides to ensure only bucks 160″ B&C or greater are shot.
Ethical, Immediate Kill Shots
Hunters are required to move into a position that will allow for a precise, immediate kill shot to avoid wounding animals. Hunters do not shoot at running deer or deer beyond their shooting capability.
Weapon Proficiency
A prerequisite to all our hunts is proficiency in your weapon of choice. Upon arrival, we will do a skills assessment to ensure your hunting spot is appropriate for your weapon and ability.
Additional Field Skills
Hunters will be expected to have patience—mature whitetail bucks are elusive, seclusive, and mostly nocturnal. The first and last hour of daylight will give you the greatest opportunities for success. Awareness of your own sound and scent and the ability to read the sounds and activity of bucks will only increase your success rate.
Before taking a shot, hunters need to allow sufficient time to judge their shot, their positioning, and the type of buck they’re shooting at. This is to avoid ground-shrinkage and ensure you stay within antler size restrictions.
