About
We have been in the big-game hunting business for many years, including working together outfitting as Nine Mile Guest Ranch since 1999. In 2014, we took on a new, exciting venture in Ranching for Wildlife. The opportunity to expand into this program came at an ideal time for us when the ranch, owned by Visintainer Sheep Company, became available.
Being part of the Ranching for Wildlife program allows us to have a 90-day season for each individual species and set our own season dates. This means we can offer some very sought-after rut hunts for antelope, mule deer, and elk, as well as late-season elk hunts for huge herds of migrating elk that winter on the Visintainer properties. And all this can be done with any legal weapon. We will also have guaranteed tags for all species available for you.
Two features of Ranching for Wildlife that make it a special opportunity are the fact that tags are guaranteed (once you book your hunt) and you can use any legal weapon during the designated seasons. Each species – antelope, mule deer, elk – will have a 90-day season.
Hunting is not just a hobby or a job – or even just a business – for us. It is a passion. We are committed to making it the best it can be and we devote ourselves to the many aspects of it on a full-time basis. We pride ourselves on having a lot of wonderful repeat business, on retaining a great staff, and on helping to maintain the lease properties to be the best they can be for all their uses.
Our hope is that each person who hunts with us has a successful hunt. Beyond that, we want each person to have a positive experience, maybe learn something about wildlife, and possibly even make a friend or two in the hunting industry.
