This fine combination hunts for elk and mule deer takes place on a private Cooperative Wildlife Management Unit (CWMU) ranch in southern Utah. Hunters on this trip typically takes bulls scoring 300 to 350 Boone and Crockett points and deer in the 170 to 200 class. The ranch is situated about three hours south of Salt Lake City. You'll hunt wild elk and deer that are not constrained by game-proof fences. But due to low hunting pressure, the elk and deer have a chance to grow old enough to reach trophy size.
You'll stay in an outfitter tent and will reach the hunting areas by ATV. Hunting is by spotting and stalking. Most hunters enjoy a lot of bugling action. The scenery is spectacular, and the leaves start to change colors during the September season, making this a wonderful time to be afield. If you want to hunt deer alone, the best time is probably the first part of the season, Sept. 1-5. This hunt has produced some superb bucks, including several in the 180s, a 192 and a 202 typical. |
