Do-it-yourself private-land Utah deer and elk hunts

This 2,700-acre property in southern Utah was productive in the 2011 season with the hunters taking nice bulls and bucks. Price is $3,500 a person, unguided, for either deer or elk. There will be four deer hunters and four elk hunters allowed on the property in 2012, and that includes all three seasons -- rifle, archery and muzzleloader. You'll need to apply by March 3 for muzzleloader and rifle deer tags; archery deer as well as rifle, muzzleloader and archery elk tags are unlimited. If you're looking for a place where you and one to three buddies can enjoy a hunt without others on the ranch, we can put you in touch with thed man with the property. "It's a really good piece of property," he said. "It's really ideal habitat with aspens, oakbrush and some pines. There are a couple of cabins or bunkhouses for sleeping, but you'll need to bring your own food and cooking equipment and stoves. I recommend bringing a motor home or a trailer or camper. The hunters should do really well even though it's an unguided hunt because the game is in good shape." Hunt MD4573EZ.
