Wyoming Private Hunting RanchesExperiencing Wyoming Mule Deer HuntsThe sound of the .30-06 echoed through the foothills. The trophy elk bull took a step and then dropped in his tracks. That sound was the last he will ever hear.
Located anywhere from the Powder River Basin in central Wyoming, to the Wind River and at the base of the spectacular Absaroka mountain range or the foothills of the Bridger National Forest these preserves offer ideal habitat for producing large bucks. You can book trips that last a day or two to fully guided trips by horseback. All in an effort to ensure you get a number of reasonable shots at trophy elk or whitetails. Compare that to the problems you have hunting whitetail deer on public land in Wyoming - hunting pressures aside. Deer or elk populations are subject to winter kill. Bucks run down from the rut or young animals to small to withstand the exceptionally cold temperature die off. Hard to hunt what isn't there. Drought takes it's toll too. In a different way. When water becomes scarce the mule deer, white tails or elk move on. A bumper crop of wolves, coyotes and bear can plunder many of the fawns born in a given year. Weather in general often drives your success. If you were expecting cold weather to force the elk below the timber line but it's late this year, there won't be game to shoot where you are no matter how hard you work the woods. So is it any wonder, Wyoming private hunting ranches are a popular option.
