Mule Deer Buck Huntat La Dolce Vita Ranch
La Dolce Vita Ranch is made up of mountains, valleys, ponds, heavily treed peaks with open vistas, and proximity to the Pike National Forrest. This makes for an excellent muley habitat. Plenty of shelter, sources of water, and natural forage create a healthy population of game.
The previous owners and longtime neighboring landowners have all hunted this area every year. The elk and deer are here year round actually. We see them or their fresh tracks all the time. The 4 bucks in our photo were hanging out right on the side of our driveway in early November, for example. There is tons of regular movement here all through the season because of all the springs and livestock tanks on our property. We’re a stone’s throw from the National Forest, so when there’s hunting pressure there, all the elk and deer come down onto the ranch.
Deer are more present earlier in the season then tend to move lower. My husband is a good tracker and keeps an eye on their patterns. Plus we have lots of springs, ponds, and livestock tanks, so they come and drink here and sometimes even bed down on our ranch at night.
This property is located in Unit 58 for mule deer.
