Property Description

There is a good resident populations of elk, mule deer and turkey on the ranch as well as black bear, mt. lion and other small game. The countless canyons and ravines are excellent bedding areas for mule deer, elk, and bear. With roughly 85% of the ranch being covered in ponderosa, pinyon, cedars and scrub oak there are plenty of hiding places for those old mature bucks and bulls to hide! There are quite a few areas that could be cleared and planted to bring in and hold more wildlife. Due to the varying topography of the landscape, you could easily enhance the property by creating additional water sources. There is a modest 2-bedroom/1 bath mobile home that would make a good hunting cabin.
