We have lived here on this ranch for over 30 years. We have raised cattle and guided hunters in same area all this time. We went through the mule deer boom in late 50's, 60's, and 70's. Back then it was not uncommon to take 6 or 8 hunters, and harvest four or more 30 bucks. There were no elk here then. Elk began moving in from White River area, and in 1986 one of our hunters took a 5 point bull. We had taken some before that time, but it was on north end of mountain and I didn't guide hunters there then. Last year our hunters took over 20 bulls, and nearly everyone with a deer tag harvested a respectable buck. The mule deer herd has rebounded good in last 3 years, and we are seeing and harvesting some nice bucks. The elk herd seems to have stabilized, and with the 4-point restriction we are seeing more good six point bulls every year. Most of our hunting is between 7500 and 9000 feet in elevation. We built a new lodge in 1996, and our clients seem very satisfied with the accommodations. Call, write, or email for any other information about our services. Happy Hunting!! Ned and Dollie Prather
