Elusive, smart, intriguing - they're all adjectives that describe this western hunting icon.

Sometimes high in the mountainous aspen meadows, sometimes in the rolling sagebrush hills, a trophy mule deer has enticed, frustrated and thrilled many a true hunter.

In a continuing effort, Three Forks Ranch is managing, not only for a larger mule deer herd, but also for older, larger bucks.

Our harvest numbers are drastically fewer from the historic ranch harvest, thus, bigger bucks.

By gradually reducing cow elk numbers, we are decreasing competition for habitat between elk and deer. Thus, a larger mule deer herd.

The proof is in the pudding. For the past several years we are consistently harvesting bucks scoring from 170-210 B and C.

These bucks are big because they are old. They are old because they are smart. Book this hunt at Three Forks Ranch and match wits with this true western trophy.
