                            Welcome to where the hills meet the plains, where antelope are You will have the opportunity of hunting up to almost 10,000 acres with private land interlocked with BLM land.

With a license that has a “O” for Open, designation you can hunt both and go directly from one to the other and back. On the licenses having a “P” for private means you can cross the public land to get to other private land you just can’t hunt on it. This is a Private Land DIY/Trespass fee/Semi-Guided Hunt Opportunity on a Great Out West Elk, Mule Deer and Antelope hunt.

Here is a brief description of the property in GMU003 and GMU004.

In GMU003 the Main Property is 2500 acres of fenced Private land with no cross fences. It is surrounded by thousands of Acres of BLM on all sides. The property is 2,500 contiguous acres or 4 one mile sections. In addition, there are an addition satellite property of 320 acres, minimal pressure, with water and of course deer, elk and antelope.

It has at least 4 water sources year around mostly ponds and catch basins. The ground is mostly rolling sage, on sand hills with a mixture of small natural hay fields when the sage has been removed. The south end climbs up to the road altitudes and every thing is below that level. The moving spring water mainly flows from north to south through the draws, some drying out and other emptying into different ponds.

The habitat is great for Mule Deer and Antelope in August, September, October and November, then they migrate to lower ground to winter. The elk use the land basically traveling from North to south across the property en route from the Bears Ears herd which numbers 60,000 traveling 27 miles west to Galina’s Rim, 30 miles as the crow flies to the west and down at only 5000 feet in altitude. This is for elk like if we would spend the winter in Hawaii.  Part of this 60,000 elk herd cross through this property with the excellent conditions. Elk are all about easy shooting with no trees and a good visual advantage make completing the harvest.  

The deer and antelope are quite easy to hunt since they are in the prime habitat during the hunting seasons. For the Deer snow and harsh weather does enhance your odds for larger animals, along with the later in the season the more active the rut is but either way everyone goes home happy.

The property abounds with 2-Track roads and high points, both are assets for the Safari Style, Drive, Glass, Spot and then stalk or just glassing from a high point for deer elk or antelope type of hunts for The Semi-Guided hunter.

In GMU004 there is 1225 acres of mixed habitat that begins north of Eastern Craig and travels north with highway 13 being its western boundary. The land has the fortification Creek, and irrigated hayfields that attract all wildlife and big game. There are some trees, but the hayfield in the bottom open to sage and scrub habitat as the property travels east to higher altitudes. This property is into the Bears ears foothills and the migration of deer and elk to lower ground as winter approached. There is also a local herd of Deer and Antelope. The water is always an attractant in a dry habitat like this high plateau desert habitat. The local deer begin being met with Mule Deer migrants as the days cool in late October, but the elk are later, using the snow in the higher altitudes to push them westward across the sage covered sand hills between highway 13 and Godiva Rim.
