Elk
Hunt EK226
Here is a high success hunt on private land that has guaranteed licenses issued from the state, no drawings. At press time ELK SUCCESS WAS 18 FOR 18 ON BULLS AVERAGING 5X5 and MULE DEER SUCCESS WAS 8 FOR 8 AVERAGING OVER 170 INCHES.
This ranch is allocated 42 elk tags from the state and we expect them to harvest near 100 percent due to the ranch location in a very high migration route along with the number of resident elk on the ranch. Success in both 2012 and 2011 were close to 100 percent for both elk and mule deer.
This is a high success hunt priced at a bargain rate
of only $4,250 and you can add trophy mule deer for only $3,250 and this
gets you an extra day of hunting. Mule deer hunting has been more trophy
oriented, taking only about 10 hunters per year and success has been
running about 100% on bucks averaging over 170 inches.
Since this ranch is in the Ranching For Wildlife Program he can
hunt from September 5 to December 5 with rifles. Most bulls taken will
be a 5x5 averaging in the 230 to 260 class and top bulls reach the
280-inch category. Resident elk are hunted on the early hunts during the
rut. Typically the elk
hunting gets better on the later hunts. Starting about mid-November more
elk move onto the property due to pressure on public land and the normal
migration out of the high country. The ranch is located at about
7500-foot elevation has good access and this is not necessarily a
physical hunt. Hunters come in on Saturday; hunt Sunday, Monday,
Tuesday, and Wednesday (4 days), leave Thursday. New lodge
accommodations, meals, guided 2x1 and airport pickup in Hayden is
included. Deer typically score in the 160 to 185-inch class. Pronghorn
can be added to the early elk hunts for only $2,200 and the ranch
produces nice bucks averaging 73 to 78 inches. This hunt is very high
success on all species. Very limited openings. HCU’s Craig Green has
been on this hunt. Hunt EK226.
