WYOMING HUNTS
We offer some of the finest plains mule deer and antelope hunting in the country. The ranch totals 65,000 acres and is located between Douglas and Gillette, Wyoming.
Antelope average 13" and mule deer average 165 B&C. We have taken the mule deer over 30". Two deer have scored in excess of 195 B&C. A Boone & Crockett typical was taken in 1999 with a total of 192 net B&C and a nontypical 17 pointer scoring in at 201-6/8.
In the fall 2008, opened up our elk hunting property fall—trophy quality is outstanding! This 20,000-acre ranch holds plenty of mature bulls. The area is difficult to draw a permit, but if successful, the Elk hunting is superb. Expect 330–370 bulls to be the norm.
Africa Hunts
We have personally hunted with Professional Hunter Ernest Dyason of Spear Safaris. His operation is first class and animal quality outstanding. I set up package trips that are hassle-free for all our clients. An African experience is a trip you deserve!
