First Class Mule Deer, Antelope or Combo in Southeast, Wyoming

This amazing private ranch, located in southeastern Wyoming, has gained notoriety for producing trophy quality mule deer bucks and plentiful antelope.

In totality the ranch is over 60,000 acres (95 square miles) and varies from 6,400-8,600 feet in elevation. The lower portions of the ranch feature rolling grasslands containing cottonwoods within the drainages which gradually give way to the hogbacks containing an array of pine, willow and low brush plant varieties.

This hunt can be as physically demanding as a hunter desires but as an overall rule of thumb it is low impact. A developed road system within the ranch makes cutting distances simple and eliminates brutally long hikes.

Spot and stalk hunting techniques are almost exclusively used regardless of weapon choice. Often times, hunters will find themselves sitting on a high vantage point at daybreak, glassing the vast landscape until a suitable mule deer or antelope is found. Once located, hunter and guide will work into a suitable shooting position. This outfitter and his experienced team of guides have produced excellent results for both rifle and bow/crossbow hunters. In fact, most archery archery seasons produce 90%+ shot opportunity on mature mule deer bucks. Antelope numbers on the ranch continue to grow with consistent trophies being taken. Hunting antelope in conjunction with mule deer is a perfect pairing of quintessential western big-game. Deer will be hunted in the early mornings and evenings with mid day being used to pursue pronghorn antelope.

Due to the immense size of the ranch as well as limited offtake the quality of mule deer is ever improving. Extensive preseason scouting is done to ensure every hunter has the best chance possible to harvest a mature animal. No more than four deer hunters are allowed on the ranch at one time.

Lodging consists of a five bedroom, four bath house that has acted as a focal point in the region for over a century. The lodge has been renovated with all modern conveniences, but still holds onto its deep western roots. A caretaker will be present to provide all meals and ensure your stay is one to remember.

Tags for this hunt can be drawn with minimal preference points for both species making this a very simple hunt to plan.
