GUIDED HUNTS:

ELK, MULE DEER AND BEAR

All of our hunts are 100% Fair Chase on prime private ranch property and BLM Lands.  All of our hunts are on a limited basis to properly manage the quality of our big game herds on the lands we lease.  Elk hunts are mostly spot and stalk with some tree stand and ground blind setups as well as calling during the rut.  Rag-horns to 330-340 B&C bull elk can be expected in these units.  We use 4x4 vehicles and ATV's to access different places on the ranches and then hike on foot from there.  We do a lot of glassing especially during the Mule Deer hunts.  Mule Deer will range from 160-200 B&C or larger.  We lease many different properties in GMU's 52, 53, 62, 63, 65 & 521 and are permitted for all BLM land in these units as well.  (*All or part of this operation is conducted on public lands under special permission from the U.S. Bureau of Land Management*)      We also offer fully guided rifle bear hunts in the month of September, or you can harvest a bear during your elk or deer hunt for a $800 trophy fee.  Color phase bears are very common. You will stay in our spacious, clean 4 bedroom/2 bathroom hunting camp. Our full-service cook will prepare three meals each day along with many snack foods and drinks.  We provide clean bedding, towels, and we can accommodate most individuals with different physical capabilities. 

We also offer fully guided mountain lion hunts from Dec. 1 to March 31. Meals and lodging are not included in the hunt price due to always changing locations.
