The owner has harvested several nice mule deer bucks and several elk right on the property. Elk migrate through the ranch by the hundreds during certain times of year. GMU 63 is known as one of the best units in the state for trophy mule deer bucks, and many Boone & Crockett bucks have been taken within a 10-mile radius of the property.

Just across the valley, the Crystal Creek area has many trailheads reaching into the high country, and all kinds of routes for horseback riding, ATV riding, hunting, hiking, and packing.
