Bull elk are numerous and best harvested in the archery season with traditional or compound bow in the month of September. This is a draw hunt easily drawn within a year or two in most cases.

Cow elk is over the counter as an ‘elk damage tag’ any weapon with seasons offered at the ranch in September and October, when elk dominate the property due to the prime habitat it offers. Success rates for cow elk has been very high with nearly 100% to date!

Trophy whitetail are ideal for the later muzzleloader hunt around Thanksgiving with bucks over 150! We also have numerous does for the harvest for larger hunting parties.

Turkeys are abundant on the property, often in groups of 20-30.

6-8 bears are often seen on the property at different times, and multiple cougars, also available to hunt. We recommend you bring a tag for these, and you can harvest without an extra fee, while on the ranch, if you see one.
