These are semi-Guided hunts which is perfect for your hunting freedom. The outfitter and guides work with you to get you set up overlooking hay fields, thoroughfares, and migration corridors where the elk travel. Their movement and the others hunting with you supply enough movement so that the elk move easily.
The elk are hard on the hay fields, so we are taking a few off this year to allow us to bail more hay. We graze very few to none of our cattle on the property so there is always plenty of feed for the elk left over after custom in the hayfields along with the creek bottoms and hillsides. The hill sides also provide cover with the elk’s favorite cover, scrub oak, bitterbrush abounds in the area which supplies 15% protein and is 50% digestible so it requires minimal energy to process and the maximum amount of protein. In relations to straight corn is only 7%. Nature take care of its animals all we do is provide a semi-safe place, with little traffic and a little harvest. Our deer, elk and antelope predators are kept at a bare minimum we do not provide a haven for them on our properties.
Actual property is in GMU441 and GMU214. Licenses, ATV’s meals and lodging are not included but we have some local options. They are an asset durring the regular seasons but durring the November 20-December 31 season for cows only the hunts early are conducted in 4-wheel drive truck, then from about mid-December on it can be by snow mobile depending on the weather and snow depth.
Each hunter is responsible hunting gear, not just to have it but to know it and how to use it. In a quick shot you may need to shoot quickly and accurately. This begins with gun, ammo, bow and arrows, binoculars, range finder, clothes and so on. We will not shoot your animal for you, so it is up to pull the trigger accurately to take something home.
There are local Walmart’s and Sporting Goods Stores for hunting needs and food.
