Utah Elk Mule Deer Moose Bear Cougar Hunts

With this outfitter you will experience trophy hunting at its best for Moose, Elk, Mule Deer, Antelope, Black Bear, Cougar, Bobcat, Coyote, and Canadian Geese. All our hunts are available in the Book cliffs, South Slope Diamond Mtn. Bonanza, and North Slope 3 corners limited entry units, in Northeastern Utah. In the Bookcilffs unit, we work together with folks from the Main Canyon Ranch. They are also cattle ranchers and are great people. They have been on the ranch for 31 years and actually live on the ranch year round, so no one knows this unit better than they do! 

Our 65,000+ acre ranch is located on Diamond Mtn. where we run a 1,000 head, cow-calf operation. While hunting on our ranch or in this limited entry unit, you will have the opportunity to harvest 330+ bulls, and 180+ bucks. 

Neither of these ranches is fenced-in, so you will experience fair chase, free roaming hunts. Because you are able to access these private properties inside these limited entry units, it ensures a great hunt and a better opportunity to harvest trophy animals! 

 Our ranch and hunting business is family owned and operated and if you book a hunt with us, we will make it our primary focus to give you the most memorable and enjoyable experience as possible. 

Our Ranch is on Diamond Mountain, in Northeastern Utah, which is located 30 miles North of Vernal. Our ranch was homesteaded by our great, great grandfather in the early 1900’ss and we operate a 1,000 head of beef cattle on it today. It is located in the North East corner of Utah, Bordering Colorado to East and Wyoming to the North lots of outlaw history in this country, such as Butch Cassidy and his gang frequented these parts back in the day. 

Canyons, draws, and lakes have been named after these famous outlaws. Indians frequented these parts in the 1800’s and their artifacts are still found on our ranch today. Our ranch has hunting terrain in about every thinkable manner such as quakes, cedars, pines, ponderosas, sage flats, draws, canyons, mountains, ridges, and openings. Just about all is here and past clients have mentioned the beauty Diamond Mountain presents.

 Bull Elk

Each year the state of Utah issues us so many landowner tags; per given amount of acres that land owners own, these landowner tags are issued for deer and elk only. We are currently sold out of our ¡¯05 bull elk tags, but we are taking deposits for our ¡¯06 permits, we require a 50% min. deposit up front, then the rest of the amount due by June 1 prior to your actual hunt. These tags go quick, so send your deposit early!!!

We offer a 5 day hunt with one guide per client. On our ranch you will be pleased to see large quantities and quality of Bull Elk. Clients average 98% harvest success with some customers passing up bulls 300+, while looking for that bull of a lifetime!!! We generally take bulls scoring 285 to 340 and most averaging 320. In any given 5 day period we figure that a person may view as many as 40 different bulls, pretty easy.

Bobcat

Hunting Bobcat on our ranch is by far the most unpredictable, challenging and sometimes the most frustrating. There are so many uncontrolled factors and conditions that contribute to this hunt, each is unique. Hunts can take as long as half a day to 5 days and is definitely not a hunt for the faint of heart. The pursuit is a far greater thrill than the actual kill, but to harvest a Bobcat is certainly worth every minute and every effort expended. 

On our ranch we have a fair number of cats, and usually is not a problem getting one up a tree or on a rock. These hunts are conducted with the use of highly trained and experienced hound dogs and boy what a thrill! In the state of Utah a hunter may take up to 6 bobcats per season. Bobcat pelts are worth anywhere from $30 to $600 and make beautiful mounts.

Coyote

We have a good number of coyotes on our property and can be very fun to hunt them.

This hunt includes lodging with full facilities, good meals and a good place to relax after an exciting day of hunting. We specialize in three day field hunts over magnum decoys in grain fields, corn fields and Alfalfa field¡¯s full blinds and cover in a dry setting. This is a fully equipped operation that provides very good Canadian Geese hunting. We provide all transportation to and from Vernal, Utah meals, guides, blinds, decoys, preparation and processing of birds for take home. 

We raise our corn, grain and alfalfa for our beef cattle in Randlett, Utah which is approximately 30 miles South of Vernal. Their ranch borders the Ouray Nation Wildlife Refuge, so makes for some prime goose hunting. We have been known to miss the opening day of deer season to hunt geese!
