Sheep Hunter

They drop 7 more elk cow on last Wednesday , I have hunted on Saturday but no Luck , couldn't get any shot opportunities , Did again on Sunday , no luck on the blind , done three hour stalk and walk , at last found two elk cow is crossing a road almost back to back

about 100 yard , I made a shot the guide told my bullet goes through one and hit other when the back one passed . Again I shot the back one on run but couldn't make a kill shot, lot of brush . I got one elk cow and paid for two , she is still moving there at ranch got shot above lungs and just below spine . , I requested them to shoot her and inform me I will pay extra 400 for shooting her. Just waiting for their success. They told they saw her yesterday There is lot to write I will write in detail later. , I will come back with some pictures.
During scouting I saw dead body of one red stag , pig and one goat one Nevi seal person and friend shot on last Wednesday

Yes Aaron it is not a place for ethic hunters ..but good for some one is enjoying tough hunt, time and not looking for deposit . Need lot of work for big animals.

I went on a hunt like that a long time ago. It started off bad and got worse. guide was terrible but the ranch was beautiful. We chose not to go back after lunch. Just decided the money was not worth my misery. Sorry to hear your trouble.

This is bad. I have had JOBK here hunting and he is a really fine gentleman. I hate for this to happen to anyone. Especially people like him.

I am listed as a reference on a hunting site and get several emails asking specific questions and general information. I wouldn't think about spending $$$ without asking for references. Plus this site is a vast source of knowledge and advice. confused2 nidea

Here is the cleaning station first one is for small animal , the second one is for the large animal with pig carcass . The pig shot on Last Wednesday or Thursday and it's carcass was locating there up to Sunday evening . I requested the owner to remove it on Sunday morning, nothing happen. In the meat processing area one week old carcass laying on the ground. Very dirty set up.

THESE ARE THE POINTS I FOUND ABOUT THE RANCH, TAKE CARE WHEN YOU ARE BOOKING HUNT , MAY HELPFUL

1, EVEN YOU COULDN'T GET SHOOTING OPPORTUNITIES THEY WILL NOT RETURN THE HALF DEPOSIT. ASK VERY CLEARLY WHAT IS THE SHOOTING OPPORTUNITY. HE TOLD ME IF ANIMAL SHOWED UP THAT IS SHOOTING OPPORTUNITIES.


( they will offer animal from the pen or you can return back and hunt again and again but with multiple hunters)

I saw two hunters hunting from their pen ( about 6 acre or less land , lot of pigs, about 6 small elk cow and a spike bull, ram , one barasinga , above twenty number axis , one white tail , it will change every day.)
Saturday they offer me to take one from there , I refused .

2, THEY WILL ALWAYS PUT HUNTERS IN THE BLIND ( number-01) NEAR ENTRANCE , EVEN PIG RUNNING AWAY WHEN THEY REACH THIS FEEDER, HIGH HUNTING PRESSURE.
I bought alfalfa still nothing is came and ate from there. If you are looking for a successful hunt avoid that blind , take some blind near the pond,
( it was too late for me recognize the ranch.)

3, THE GUIDE IS ALWAYS LOOKING FOR FREE MEAT ( YOUR PAID MEAT)

Saturday he told me to shoot the red stag the one is injured on last Wednesday , the guide was very interested on scouting but once we found he is dead we didn't see any interest for scouting on Saturday. He will put you in a blind near the entrance where there is no deer movement. I saw some animal moving around but nothing is coming to the feeder. Newly dropped animal may come.
Once see the animal instead of providing shooting set up by reversing the vehicle they will come out from the vehicle , animal will start moving , so you will not get a good shooting opportunities. I feel they are not looking for kill shot.
My cow is still at ranch , I didn't get any call about it even I offered 400 dollar shot and inform me, but I have no scope. I will let you know if I get a call.

During the injury elk search just started drizzling , he told we have to leave the area , I ask why, he told it is not safe to drive, I told we are not driving here just walking , he told still it is not safe. but I refused. the guide and my partner was together , they found the elk was about 20 yard close, it was just standing, he told my partner he is moving that to towards me and disturbed him , when I reach there it already gone . He always tried to quit the search from the beginning from different reason. They promised they will get it on next day. The guide saw it on Monday , he told me he didn't have gun with him . He don't care about the blind hunting.

4, NO GUIDE WILL BE WITH YOU WHEN YOU ARE DOING HUNT IN A BLIND ( small animal it is ok white tail doe or hog)

This is the most confusing part when we are hunting ELK cow like large animal in blind , guide didn't stay with us .

May be they have sure nothing will come up there, or any other hidden agenda, I am not sure.




kdkane1971

Once he told hit both of them , I didn't think twice just tried to knock it down. I shot it again , it was too late .. there is two blood trail . If I get it that one I could have look how many shot on her body.

So you were able to take the first elk cow home, correct?
Only the 2nd one wasn't recovered?
I am also confused about the $400 you offered. It sounds as if you paid for 2 elk cows due to drawing blood on the 2nd animal. Where does the $400 come into the story? If you were offering an additional $400 above and beyond the cost of 2 elk cows, although very generous, you need to rethink spending any more $ with these guys.

Yes I paid 2300 (1150 x2) + 50 non hunter fee = 2350, I took home one cow and I offered additional 400 $ for the one I wounded to recover , actually this is first time I wounded an animal so I am not sure how it will workout in other ranches. But still couldn't work.

Here is the classified and name of the ranch

two Elk Cow hunts priced at $1,150 each.
This is $100 off the normal hunt price of $1,250.

These wont last long as they are big cows weighing at least 500 lbs. or more.

That's some amazing stuff. Unprofessional, irresponsible, nasty, & unsportsmanlike. Unbelievable about the pig carcass being there for that amount of time. What a terrible operation.

WOW!!! I've seen a lot of his ads for hunts and even contacted him about a blackbuck and a nilgai, but then got too busy and wasn't able make it. He has some great deals, but if they are like this cow elk hunt, I'm not gonna mess with it no matter what the price is.
