Providing Equal Hunting Opportunities for ALL

10 of our Elk Ranchers operate hunting ranches which are also located throughout the state.  Some misconceptions lately in the local news media have given people the impression that these ranches are only for the rich, and that their operations are unethical and should be outright banned.  Once again, we are here to provide the accurate view on these sorts of operations. 

Clientele: Our Elk Hunting ranches offer their services to ALL Idahoans.  These hunting ranches are visited by many different hunters...

•  The Elderly Hunter who can no longer walk for miles in order to harvest an elk in the wild
• The Disabled Hunter whose only opportunity to hunt is on one of our harvest ranches 
• The Out-Of-State Hunter who due to the strict limitation and lack of native wildlife in their state, opt to come hunt on one of Idaho's private preserves in order to assure a successful hunt
• Even the fellow Idahoan who either is unable to find their elk in the wild, or is just too overwhelmed by the overpopulation of hunters or wolves in a specific region.

Size: Our Elk Hunting Ranches are operated in accordance with Safari Club International's requirements for the "fair chase rule". These ranches range anywhere from 500 acres to 2,000 acres in size.  Most of our hunting ranches resemble an elk's natural habitat, and are strongly regulated by the Idaho Department of Agriculture. 

Health Testing: ALL animals which are harvested on these particular ranches are tested for CWD (Chronic Wasting Disease).
