HUNTING

The mix of alfalfa and grass is perfect for attracting Big Game animals from neighboring properties.  The combination of privacy, size, and grass makes this property a wildlife sanctuary of sorts.  Private Land Only tags in GMU 301 for Antelope bucks are easy to obtain each year compared to the unit wide tags that take other hunters 6-8 preference points to draw.   GMU 301 is an Over-The-Counter unit for Elk during the archery season as well as 2nd and 3rd rifle season.  Obtaining a Mule Deer tag is relatively easy and normally only requires 0-2 preference points, non-residents included.  As for Antelope, GMU 301 is considered one of the “Trophy Units” in the state and therefore requires 6-8 preference points to draw a unit-wide tag.
