• With numbers that will astonish, the elk herd on the ranch is nothing short of spectacular. With a 80 bull to 100 cow ratio, mature class bull elk are not hard to come by. The Deseret's bull elk hunt is unsurpassed by any elk hunt in the nation. High quality mature bulls can be seen and harvest whether hunting early season, mid-season, or late season.
The icon of the American West, the mule deer, is slowly becoming a myth. Deseret has worked hard to maintain and increase the quality and quantity of the herd since the introduction of the lease program (2010). The ranch has been very successful with its management tactics and has achieved a very diverse age structure in the herd. The ranch maintains many mature trophy classbucks.
This ranch in northern Utah is remarkable and one of a kind. The ranch stretches across rugged 9,000 foot pine cliffs, aspen meadows, and rolling prairie grasslands. In the heart of the Rocky Mountains, this CWMU encompasses 227,000+ acres.
