Click here for updated season.	Hunting licenses or tags are not included in the price of the hunt. You must buy a license before applying for an elk tag. Updated prices.
Travel	Season
You must provide your own vehicle transportation to and on the ranch.	Bow season typically begins about Aug. 30 and runs till Sept. 30
Lodging/camping	Trophy size
You may camp on the property or at a nearby reservoir. You also may rent small cabins on a ranch about 10 miles away by good graded and graveled roads.	Bulls in this unit tend to grow large antlers because rifle tags are limited both for residents and non-residents. Hunters have seen some big six-point bulls in the 350 plus class, but it's more realistic to hold out for a nice 5x5 or any 6x6 bull.

We're current booking bow hunts for 2009 and 2010 and rifle hunts for 2010.

If you want to hunt elk on your own with the possibility of mule deer on the same trip, consider booking this 9,000-acre private ranch. Archery hunters can buy tags over the counter until they're sold out. Rifle hunters can buy mule deer tags over the counter, but they must draw elk permits. The application deadline is usually in June, and the odds of drawing a regular season elk tag are about 50 percent. There's a special early season tag with very tags available, and the odds of drawing one of those has been about 10 percent. Also available each year are two or three landowner tags, which are included if you lease the property for a week of elk hunting.

These are wild elk. There are no high fences. Because rifle permits are limited in this area, the bulls get a chance to grow old enough to grow impressive racks. Some elk in this area have racks in the 330 to 380 range.

Groups of four hunters get a discount.

Most of the rest of the unit gets more hunting pressure than this ranch, so if hunters are careful there are usually elk on the property most days. The lease-holder prefers to have four hunters who know each other on the property. Calling has been effective during archery season. Still-hunting and spot-and-stalk hunting have worked during rifle season.

Hunting TV personality Huntley Ritter and a friend had a good time hunting this property during the 2008 bow season. They saw a really good bull and a handful of other elk early in the season. Later a group from Utah reported seeing more than 20 different bulls, including some truly trophy-class animals, but nobody was able to close the deal. No rifle hunters drew tags in 2008.
