Archery
Hunts
Archery hunting is exciting and productive, due to excellent game
populations and varied topography that is to the hunter’s advantage. In our
area, the wind is always a factor to be considered. Elevation is between 5,000
and 6,000 feet.
Sometimes we call elk, and sometimes we just have to stay out of their
sight as they come in to our blinds. Either way, having a big bull, or a whole
herd of elk, right in front of your sights is about as exciting as hunting can
be!
It’s surprising how snakey and sneaky an older mule deer or whitetail can
be in early fall. He’s definitely a stalking job! Don’t be surprised if you
have a whitetail buck peg you in the wide open!
A special word about archery hunting for antelope: don’t plan on sitting
(bored) over a water hole or near a fence crossing. We have found much more
excitement and success in stalking good bucks and utilizing decoys.

 Rifle
HuntsMost of our
rifle hunts are conducted on private land, with good populations of
elk, mule deer, whitetail deer, and antelope. Antelope hunting is
an option in combination with elk and deer on early rifle hunts.
Over the years, I can’t say that any one week is better for
getting big bull elk than another. Big bucks, on the other hand,
definitely are easier to come by later in the season.
When
choosing a rifle for your hunt, pick your favorite: the one you
shoot most often. You’ll be more accurate with it. Favorite
calibers here are .270, .30-06, 7mm, 300. Choose the lightest
effective load recommended for the caliber, so you have the flattest,
fastest possible trajectory. A word about scopes: 4 power
is sufficient. I have seen a number of good shots not taken
because the hunter had a variable powered scope cranked up to 9 power
or so; the hunter couldn’t see the whole animal when it came time to
shoot. Rifle season includes muzzleloader hunting. Because hunter
numbers are controlled, hunting with a muzzleloader is a viable option
for the dedicated hunter. |

Antelope
We
guide antelope hunts with either bow or rifle. Antelope hunting
is fun! Do plenty of shooting before your hunt, because they
don’t wait around for you to figure things out. You need to
be fast and accurate with bow or rifle. For an extra fee, you can
combine upland bird hunting with your antelope hunt. You can also
combine antelope hunting with some elk and deer hunts.
