Bull, Buck, & Bird Hunt + Cabin Stayat IOU Ranch West

2-day/1-night minimum. Max of 6 days for this package, please book our week-long package if interested in longer trip for a discounted rate.

This package includes hunting access to any in-season big game species, turkey, and/or upland bird species, plus lodging in our cabin.

The ranch consists of over 14,000 acres of productive creek bottom meadows, pine tree-covered areas, native grasslands, and deep coulees. Our abundant acreage and habitat composition makes this a premier hunting destination especially for antelope, mule deer, and elk. Hunters may also encounter prairie dogs, coyotes, turkeys, and upland game birds, like sage and sharptail grouse with the occasional pheasant. 

It's recommended that you bring a side by side or ATV during your visit to get around our many acres.

A note on Access:
