Drop Camp DIY
Drop camp DIY.Saved some money by providing our own gear. Everything went smoothly from dinner and breakfast the day before from the wranglers to the pack out! I always felt that Ck ranch wanted to ensure we had a great time. Saw elk even called in a few. No shots but thats bowhunting! Awesome service and awesome views!

Reviewer Comments: Al and his family have run this outfit for decades. It's him, his wife, daughter, son, brother, and other kin and assorted good folk. They are the real deal. It's all public land, heavily hunted, so you're not guaranteed anything other than excellent effort and knowledge on their part. What else can you ask?

Reviewer Comments: A classic family-run operation. Everyone's good people - honest and hard working. In two hunts (one fully guided, one a drop camp) I've taken two bulls, all on public land. Gotta be willing to work, though, since it's rugged country.

Reviewer Comments: I have been on two hunts with this outfitter. Third trip is coming up. All the hunts have been unguided. Accomodations are great, the country is beautiful, and Al and his people are an honest hard working bunch. The chance of killing a P&Y bull isn't great, but the chance of getting a shot at a legal bull is (if you do your part, ie be in great shape, have some calling prowess, be willing to work). In short, Circle K ranch will hold up their end of the deal. If you hold up your end, you will have a great hunt.

Iowa Hunting Information
Iowa is one of the best Midwestern states for monster whitetail bucks. Non-residents must apply for a tag in their annual drawing. Archery tags are the most sought after and depending on what units you apply for generally take 2-4 years to draw.
Ohio Hunting Information
Ohio is best known for its trophy whitetail deer. In fact, the world record non-typical whitetail was harvested in Greene county by Mike Beatty in November 2001,
Arizona Hunting Information
Arizona has lots of trophy big game but is probably best known for its trophy elk and mule deer. This partially due to the limited number of tags available.
