ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON THE HUNTING
The owner lightly hunts the ranch for elk, mule deer, and antelope. They typically harvest 4-5 mature bulls and 11-12 cow elk annually. The land is enrolled in both mule deer and antelope habitat management plans. The management plans award the ranch two late-season mule deer tags, which extend the season from Dec 1st - Jan 31st. Antelope tags are available over-the-counter; however, the plan allows for additional weeks at the end of the regular season.
