Description:  On this outfitters’ ranch you will be pleased to see large quantities of quality bull elk. Clients average 98% harvest success with some customers passing up bulls that score 300+, while looking for that bull of a lifetime! They generally take bulls scoring 285 to 340 and most averaging 320. In any given five-day period, a person may view as many as 40 different bulls. They offer a five-day hunt with one guide per client.

Each year the state of Utah issues only so many landowner tags per given amount of acres that landowners own. These landowner tags are issued for deer and elk only. Tags go quickly so book your hunt early if you choose the Landowner Tag route.

The state of Utah also offers limited-entry drawings for bull elk. The unit that the outfitter’s ranch lies within is called the South Slope Diamond Mountain Unit. A person must put in an application to the state for a drawing of one of these permits. If you draw then they would love to take you hunting on their ranch. They have a good number of elk on the property with prospects of some very large bulls.

Accommodations:  This outfitter offers full-service lodges and camp trailers, where you will be served breakfast, dinner and provided with a sack lunch for midday or return to camp for lunch. Keep in mind that when staying in a cabin or camp trailer in the winter months we will not have running water. They limit camps to avoid overcrowding but still allow for plenty of camaraderie. Practice targets will be available to keep you tuned up for that chance at a trophy.

Transportation/Getting there:  hunters who fly will have several airports to choose from including Rocks Springs, Wyoming, Salt Lake City, or Vernal Regional Airport. Hunters who drive will meet in Vernal, Utah.
