NORTHEASTERN UTAH RIFLE HUNTS
DURING THE SEPTEMBER RUT
PRIVATE FREE-RANGE RANCHES
NEAR 100 PERCENT SUCCESS
SPECIAL CWMU GUARANTEED TAGS

This outfit controls some of the best elk hunting in northeastern Utah. Most of the ranches are in the Controlled Wildlife Management Program known as CWMU. This allows them to rifle hunt in September with guaranteed licenses, no drawings, similar to Colorado’s program Ranching for Wildlife. We have listed a few ranches in an affordable price range with high success on quality bulls. Openings are very limited due to repeat hunters. These ranches also offer mule deer hunts.

The Morgan piece is made up of several ranches and has recently increased in size now totaling 60,000 deeded acres. In 2013 over the course of a couple months they had 40 hunters take 39 bulls averaging in the 270 to 280 class, with the top bulls reaching the 320’s.  In 2012, they took 23 bulls for 25 hunters and both unsuccessful hunters had opportunities. In 2011 they had 16 hunters take 16 bulls. Bulls typically gross score between 270 and 320 Boone and Crockett. As you can see the success rate has stayed very consistent and the number of hunters taken has increased with the amount of land being added to the program.

Lodge, cabins or ranch house accommodations, 5 days guided 1x1 is $8,500 guided 2x1 is $8,000, with airport pickup in SLC included. Available dates are September 11 to 15, 19 to 22, 25 to 29 and this is a CWMU so tags are guaranteed and you can rifle hunt during the bugle rut season.  Some ranches have a better elk hunt later during the month of October so they also accommodate hunters up to October 28.
