Elk, Antelope, Mule Deer
Located in Level Management 2, Quivira Mesa Ranch qualifies for unlimited landowner elk, antelope and mule deer tags. Always check regulations, as some tags have an application date each year.
Elk, Mule Deer and Antelope are what Quivira Mesa is all about. Documented elk to the 390 range are in the area and 350 class bulls common. Depending on how one manages the ranch, you can find trophy mule deer and book antelope on the ranch as well. The rolling hills, mainly pinion juniper with Ponderosas and oak stands, intermingled with native grass arroyos, make for the ideal habitat, with an excellent year-round population. Coyote calling and an occasional mountain lion will round out the hunting.
Should absentee ownership be of interest as is currently, there is an excellent caretaker living on the ranch that oversees the cattle operation, game management, and facilities, and has an interest in staying on if beneficial to ownership.
Quivira Mesa Ranch certainly checks quite a few boxes for todays recreational and working ranch buyer and is priced to sell. Call or email today for more info and your qualified showing. Co brokers welcome.
