Guided Trophy Whitetail Deer & Elk Hunting Trips
When you book your hunting trip with Dragon Creek Ranch, You will be guided during the hunt by an experienced guide who will help you to harvest that whitetail buck or bull elk of your dreams.
Using quality deer management practices, we have harvested many SCI record book bucks that have made the North-west typical estate and North-west non-typical estate category. The early season average whitetail buck scores 220" SCI with the largest two bucks scoring 460" SCI and 373" SCI. There are only a limited number of mature whitetail bucks available per year, so we offer our hunts on a first come first serve basis.
Our trophy whitetail hunting trips are priced according to when you choose to hunt. Both gun and archery hunters are welcome and will be personally guided by the ranch owner.
