As in Washington bucks, I mean I see pictures of these hunts people go on and they are average bucks for this state and pay 3500 to 5000.

Start early and familiarize yourself with the Block Management program. That will allow you to make
reservations to hunt on lots of very big ranches at no cost to you.
http://fwp.mt.gov/hunting/hunterAccess/blockman/
There are quite a few outfitters that have leases on ranches in the area. We saw many bucks on ranches
that were leased to outfitters. Just do a Google search on outfitters in the Powder River or Broadus areas.
There is also considerable public land to hunt around Broadus.
Good luck !!

2. What is a GREAT deer to you?
3. Why do you want to pay for it?
3a. Would a 160 that you worked for be better to you than a 180 you paid for?

That is a great option too. Friend just got back from an archery hunt in Alberta and said he passed on multiple 170+ bucks holding out for a 200. He has shot lots of good bucks and doesn't lie. I saw a few pics of bucks he passed on :yike:

Unless I'm mistaken, you have to use outfitters/guides if you hunt Canada as a non resident/citizen.

If you want to hunt big deer, buy a CO landowner voucher and go hunt.

Seriously though, Alberta.

If you just want to kill a big deer go to Alberta with one of the top outfitters.

That's a good way of putting it. What do you want out of the experience?

Low success rate on big bucks. You need to spend a lot of cash for the best hunts//ranches.

It was with an outfitter that he knows so he kind of had the best of both worlds. If you saw the bucks he passed you would :puke:

As others have mentioned, go to Alberta. If you'd like to see what Alberta deer are like and you are around Twisp, go to Hank's grocery and look at all the head-mounts he has above the frozen section. Almost all of the huge ones are from Alberta and I am talking HUGE. There are several that have 30 plus inches of width and tons of mass. Hank has many 180 or greater bucks in the store for anyone to see.
Most are with Silver Sage Outfitters Http://silversageoutfitters.com and a couple recent ones from Big Knife Outfitters http://www.bigknifeoutfitters.com
Here is Hanks buck from a couple weeks ago.

If you had a bigger budget I would suggest either the eastern plains or Alberta.
Good luck finding the right hunt.
