Was a little disappointed that I could only access 1 of the 3 parcels of the ranch due to the roads. Would have been nice to have a heads up on the conditions before heading over there. No deer or elk on the property either. Could see it being decent if the elk move down. We just didn’t have any weather. Saw a group of mulies on the neighboring property.

Karen was very helpful in pointing me in the right direction, and the property was great! I saw a few mule deer, LOTS of antelope, and was able to harvest my first bull elk! Afterwords I had a great meal at the restaurant in town that they own. Overall I had a great experience!

We enjoyed seeing the ranch and surrounding country. Karen was super responsive and helpful with advice and information. There were a lot of antelope on the property all 3 days we had access but we were looking for deer and elk. Unfortunately the deer population seems to be in rough shape this year and we saw very few on the property during our time. This has been the case statewide from what we have been seeing the last few years. Hopefully they bounce back. There was a small group of elk that came through during the youth hunt but the general season was not open yet. The elk population seems healthy as we did see a lot of elk in the surrounding country and good sign that they were using the Muddy Creek ranch also.

Gorgeous property with a lot of cover. Karen was helpful and open to questions—super easy to communicate with. We enjoyed our day.

We had a wonderful stay at Muddy Creek. We camped in our RV on the property. It was quiet and peaceful. We enjoyed dinner at the landowners restaurant in town, and absolutely loved learning about the ranch and all they do. Tons to do in the area, we hiked nearby Fairy lake, waters were a little too high for fishing but next time we would love to do that. The property is well maintained and the owners made us feel right at home.

We enjoyed our stay at Muddy Creek Ranch. The house worked out perfect for us and Karen was very accommodating. Game was scarce, however. Only saw a few muley does on the property. Also saw several flocks of Hungarian Partridge. Food at their restaurant was very good! Came home with memories of a fun time together surrounded by the beautiful mountains.

Another great hunt on Muddy Creek Ranch. Karen & David are great hosts. We were there from 11/10-11/15. Plenty of game on the ranch. Rut just starting on the 15th. We got 2-Mule Deer and 1-Antelope. The house was very comfortable. If you don't want to cook just go down to the Vault and they'll fill you up. Thx Karen, hope to see you next year.

Karen and David were two of the nicest people and very helpful throughout the entire trip. Karen kept us updated with information where the animals were or might be. There was no lack of opportunity at this ranch. Saw animals from the first afternoon we went out to the last day. My group of 4 harvested 1 elk and 2 mule deer with quite a few other opportunities that didn’t work out. Their restaurant was a great place to go after a long day of hunting. Overall the experience was great and something we would all do again!

Our group of two had an enjoyable 2-1/2 day hunt on the Muddy Creek Ranch during the late season. In the hilly sagebrush area, we spotted one bull elk (which one of us shot) and one medium-size muley buck (which we did not shoot). In the flat irrigated area, we spotted several whitetail does (which we did not shoot). We were able to access most of the ranch roads, although a few areas were drifted in with snow. Karen and her daughter were helpful in pointing out the best access points, etc. The house was very clean and comfortable, and the steaks at the restaurant were excellent. Overall, a fun hunt and a good trip.

Karen’s place was great. We seen lots of deer and some good bucks. Lots of room to hunt! Thanks Karen!

We have just finished a wonderful four days at Muddy Creek Ranch. Karen and David were awesome hosts, answering our many questions and making us feel so welcome. The house was perfect and met all of our needs. Clean bedding and towels were provided. We didn't bother cooking with the Bank/Vault only a couple of blocks away. Bring your appetite if you get the Chicken Fried Steak. All the food was great and the staff wonderful. We had hoped the Elk would come in but that was not to be but we did harvest a nice 4x3 buck. Many opportunities for does if you have a tag. Beautiful ranch and you have the land to yourselves, except for the cows of course. It was a very memorable trip for all 4 of us. We will book again next year and look forward to going to Wilsall again. We sincerely thank Karen for everything.

Thank you again Karen for another great day on your ranch! A little rainy but still a memorable hunt. Even heard a nice herd of elk in the near distance. See you soon. Jeff

Both David and Karen seemed like really good folks. David was very open and friendly. He told me right from the start that the Huns weren’t out in the open fields, but rather around his house and the other buildings he pointed out. I happened to grab lunch in the bar in Wilsall and realized by the article on the wall that they owned the bar and provided local beef to the bar and elsewhere. That gave me a good feeling about them and their business — I’m a total believer in local grass fed (and finished) beef. However, the property is not what I had hoped. I walked (by gps) 4.1 miles and my dog 9.1 miles and we didn’t see a single hun. Both David and Karen told me the Huns hang around the buildings. I didn’t really want to hunt around buildings where in addition to the buildings themselves there are fences, wire, livestock and people. But having tried the main body of the ranch, I even tried around the buildings and saw nary a bird (or I should say my dogs didn’t find a bird). It’s not a hun property. I’ve hunted upland birds, including many Huns, for nearly 50 years. This property is not for an upland bird hunter.

Great place. Beautiful country. Thanks so much for the opportunity.

Muddy Creek is a great location with a ton of land. Game have access to water and there are a ton of pivots and uneven terrain for game to hide and feed. A warm day made for a lot of whitetail deer but the elk didn’t make their way to the fields but that is just how it goes some days. The ranchers were welcoming and helped guide me to the best locations for game. I’ll be going back soon and thank the Muddy Creek Ranch land owners for the opportunity.

We had a great day hunting birds on Karen and Dave's property! We saw plenty of huns and were lucky enough to get a few. Plus, the views from the property are absolutely stunning. Will be back!

Thanks to Dave & Karen I was able to harvest my first elk ever on the Muddy Creek Ranch! On Wednesday morning a couple hundred head of elk showed up down on their pivots and stayed throughout the day. There were some great bulls in the heard but at the end of the day I took the best shot I had which was at a 2yr old cow. What I learned is, don't let a huge heard in an open ag field deceive you, it's still very hard to get in range for a clean shot. There was a lot of belly crawling through snow, backing out and swinging around to do more belly crawling. I just cooked up some backstrap last night and couldn't have tasted better. Thanks Dave & Karen!

Had an amazing hunt. The muddy creek ranch did not disappoint. We had a nice heard of at least 60 antelope and chose a couple of great goats out of the heard. As we where leaving we spotted around 150 head of elk headed down to their hay fields. Highly recommend for your next antelope or elk hunt!
