Hunter capacity is being doubled (to 48 available hunts) for the 2016 season on fully guided hunts for Elk, Mule Deer and Black Bear on over 20,000 acres of private land and over 40,000 acres on BLM permitted leased land in GMU’s 11, 22, and 23. Most of the BLM land is landlocked by our private land. The private land in Unit 23 is a working ranch and has sage brush, rolling hills, hay fields, canyons, and flowing creeks. The property is surrounded by private land on all three sides.

Great care has been taken in managing the Mule deer on this ranch, producing some of the best buck deer in the area. Our clients usually enjoy 100% shot opportunities and 100% harvest on mature bucks. Bucks average 24″ with a few going over 30″. We don’t shoot anything under 3 points and only allow 8 deer hunters per year in Unit 23. Animals usually score 150-170 for deer and 260 and up for elk.

The outfitter also offers great cow elk hunts for $2,000 for three days fully guided with meals and accommodations for October and November hunts. However, a permit must be applied for by April 1^st 2016, but the draw odds have been near 100% success. After the April 1^st date, hunts may still be available if licenses still exist, so its best to apply ahead of time.
