Willard and Wayne Beckman returned in 2010, this time hunting Sheep Mountain Ranch. They both took bulls. Private land works! www.wescout4u.com.

Sheep Mountain Ranch-3100 deeded acres and 5000 acres of mostly land-locked state ground.

This ranch is good for bull elk hunting, both archery and rifle and has OK potential for buck hunters. The bull elk in the area use it to escape pressure from the surrounding ranches and public ground. It has produced several bulls approaching 350″ in recent years, and some huge bucks in the past, with a good bucks seen by the landowner yearly. There’s lots of country to hunt for a group of 4-10 hunters. You can stay with the landowner in the ranch house or camp on the lease for a reasonable fee. It is a great lease for September archery hunting, with a bull over 350″ killed by an archer in 2005. This size of bull is far from common, with most mature bulls being 250″ to 320″. The ranch is a mixture of aspen, sage, and conifer with both steep and gentle terrain.
