Photos/Feedback Wildlife Hunting

Hunting After the Viveash fire in 2000, the hillsides became covered with grasses and scrub oak, creating a prime elk and mule deer habitat. Each year Cow Creek Ranch sells two to three elk tags, two mule deer hunts and several turkey hunts to experienced hunters who are interested in an unguided hunting experience. The tags are ranch only tags to be used anywhere on the 1,200 acre Cow Creek Ranch property. The benefit of a private land hunt is that there is no pressure on the land from other hunters. 2012 Hunting Rates Elk Tag: $1,800.00 Includes one elk tag and access to hunt the ranch for any selected five day period within the season dates.
