Three Arrows Outfitters

Three Arrows Outfitters We guide archery antelope hunts. We use horses because Rick discovered over 20 years ago that it works and has not hunted antelope any other way since then.

Rick has been in magazines and on TV. If you've seen this type of hunt, this is where it all started.

Went turkey hunting yesterday. Used some unorthodox methods. He lives....

We watched & chased & stalked a group of about 20 turkeys. There was a really nice gobbler & comparable defenders. We were sitting in some bushes at one point & the hens came around another thicket at about 30 yards & then made their way back to the group. Their feathers in the sun were flashing greens & purples! That evening sun was hitting them just right, & if course the pictures don't do them justice. (I would welcome suggestions for better field pictures without lugging pro equipment if anyone has them!!!)

The flock wandered out onto the prairie & the light was getting low so we called it a day. Got a call 10 minutes after leaving the ranch that there were about 20 turkeys roosted where we had been sitting. Sounds about right. Now, I did get a shot right out of the gate & there is beautiful footage...of the miss. Maybe a post for a later day.

We toured the place a little & saw about 80 head of deer, probably 50 muleys & 30 whitetail. Can't wait to get out there & hunt deer this fall. That being said, we have 4 archery deer spots left. Send me a message!!

One of the highlights of our season each year is the Veteran's Outdoor Therapy hunt. The people we meet are outstanding humans & it is always a privilege to be asked to hunt with them. And speaking of good humans, Crystal Masek is one of the best in this world!!! The work she puts into these hunts is mind boggling. She works so hard planning these incredible hunts & then to top it off, surprises us with the sweetest gifts this week!!!

If you are looking for an organization to support this is the one!!! Veteran's Outdoor Therapy truly gives their all for the ones who gave so much for us. So proud to call Crystal my friend & so blessed to help with this hunt ❤️🏹

These are part of a larger group that hangs out around my new neighborhood. For the first of March this buck has some GREAT potential!!!

UPDATE: we are fully booked for archery antelope 2026. I barely touched the list & we were full!!! That leaves a lot of you on the list, and I will be contacting you in the coming weeks to see if you would like a shot at a hunt next year. We wish the season was longer & could fit more in, but we refuse to over hunt the herds. Herd health & sustainability are our first 2 considerations each year. We have had a very open, mild winter(ice is already gone again) so we felt 12 was an ethical number. If anyone has questions or would like more information please reach out!

Spring is in the air!!! Set some goals. Make some plans. Get out & enjoy it 🏹

Thought I better go back and finish up the deer hunting season. We took one last stab & my archery deer at Tyler & Aspen's. She had seen a buck before I got there, but we lost it crossing Willow Creek when we took off on foot from the house. I happened to look at the ridge straight into the sun & saw a buck just going cresting the hill, headed east. Game on.

We crossed the creek & headed up some draws where he may have hung up with the doe he was chasing. We crept slowly up the full length, only to pop out at the top & see him one pasture over just moving into a big patch of kocia weeds right out on the flat. Great for him. Bad for us.

We spotted some deer in another pasture & after glassing were excited to see it was a group of bucks, so off we high-tailed it across the prairie. We were lucky enough to be in one of the few places in Butte County where there are actually a couple rocks big enough to hide behind. Last we saw of the bucks they were just north of the rock in a little dip. Well, by the time we cut the distance they had gone out about 150 yards from the rock & bedded on the fence line. We waited & strategized, only to have one get antsy. He bumped them all up & the last we saw of them they were a mile north still running with tails in the air into some deep draws.

We wandered around aimless & hopeless but thankful to be enjoying a beautiful December day for another hour or so.

If anyone needs them I have some great recipes for tag soup 🥣

We spent a morning with my aunt talking, laughing, drinking coffee & looking at old family pictures. Look at this gem!!! My (LaRae) great grandpa had a pet antelope!!! It was the only picture with the antelope so we don't know more, but what a find! Antelope runs in our veins.

In other news, the temps are soaring into the upper 60s. Ice fishing is most likely over for this year. My husband put bales out for the cows yesterday & I got the gates in SHORTS!!! I have never fed cows in February in shorts before. This weather is bizarre....

HEADS UP!! I have some names on the books & will be booking the next 2 weeks. If you are on the list expect a call. If you aren't but would like to be, message me.

Now on to other things

What happens when you are retired & everyone else has to work & the fishing is good? You get to be a fishing legend for a day 😁 Dad went out & the fish were happy to take the bait so he enjoyed some fresh fish this last week. Good job, you glory hog!!! Temps are soaring into the 60 & 70s again so it was a good thing he got out to enjoy it 🎣

We went from 60° & 60 mph winds and OPEN dams for weeks to below zero nights & THICK ICE!!! We busted out the new tent & after much struggling got it up & fished in the cold temps. We didn't catch much last Sunday so Dad & I gave it a try again Wednesday. We caught a few but nothing impressive & here are the results:

First fish: LaRae
Most fish: Rick
Most Species: tie for 3 each
Biggest fish: LaRae

We toured all the dams & had a great day. Found some dead ones IN the new ice but no idea what led to their demise. Dad went out again today so stay tuned cause he said it was good fishing!!! Might have been the last go because warmer temps are on the way 😞

And if you were wondering it took 3 of us 45 minutes to get the tent up & anchored. I knocked it down in 45 seconds 😁 the struggles 🤣😂🤣

Happy Birthday to our  #1 guide today!!! You make what we do fun. Love you lots!!!

Well. Here we are. Deep into ice fishing season & no ice 🥺 So let's talk about other things.

After much deliberation & consideration we have decided that the website will be coming to an end. With full-time jobs, ranching, chasing Landon, housework, learning to make a good loaf of sourdough & honey-do lists time for keeping it updated is short. Our time could better be spent fishing or anything else besides being tied to a computer!!! HOWEVER our page will continue to have posts weekly throughout the year. Everything we do isn't always funny or exciting (we think so but we will spare you 😁) but we have some things coming up that should be interesting & reveal a little more about why we do what we do.

All that said, if you need to contact us for information, the fastest is messaging right here on Facebook. You can also call or text me. We will still operate through email as well: [email protected]

I will start making calls in just a couple of weeks to get the hunts for the 2026 season booked. With this weather holding the antelope are looking healthy & we have high hopes for another great season!!! We are gonna aim for 12 antelope hunters this year because we believe the herds should be in great condition come August.

And we may not have ice, but the sunrises have been breath taking 😍
