Solitude Ranch October 2012
This was a hunt that I won on Nexthunt for the 2012 season. The Solitude Ranch is a first class operation. It is located in one of the most beautiful locations in the country, near Devils Tower Wyoming. Mike Schmidt the owner of the ranch was a very gracious host. Mike owns. Intrepid outdoors a film and production company for hunting. As I understand the ranch is mostly for filming of hunting adventures and not open to everyone. We saw many deer every day and many Pope and Young, but did not always have an opportunity for a shot due to distance and wind conditions. The two cameramen/guides were excellent, knowledgable and friendly. There were numerous opportunities for deer but we were looking for special ones. The accommodations were excellent at the Hulett Inn which Mike also owns. I did get a shot at a great deer on the last day of the hunt, but managed to shoot over him. Thank you JT for putting this wonderful opportunity and prize together.

The Solitude
Possibly the best ranch for whitetails in Wyoming! Lots of deer, multiple opportunities at Pope&Young class animals with a very good chance of taking a 150"-160" if you can hold out! #1 and #2 Pope&Young state records have been taken off this ranch recently. Great people, incredible country, lots of game!

The solitude ranch is loaded with game,whitetails,mule deer,Merriam turkeys and elk.I personally saw over 50 deer a day from my stand.I hunted with a large group,about 9 guys.Each hunter had his own area to hunt which would be about 3 to 4 thousand acres to themselves.All in our group harvested very nice bucks all P&Y.Can't wait to hunt there again!!!!

Utah Hunting Information
Utah has recently been outstanding for trophy elk, but the best tags take many years to draw. Utah does have conservation tags available for purchase that allow hunters to bypass the drawing. Given the high demand for these premium tags prices can be high. In the past Utah has been a top trophy mule deer state but recently only a handful of units consistently produce B&C caliber deer.
Colorado Hunting Information
Colorado is one of the best western states for trophy mule deer hunting and has the largest population of elk in the west.
Kansas Hunting Information
Kansas is one of the top producing monster whitetail buck states in the country. It also has some excellent turkey hunting and a few big mule deer in the western part of the state. Kansas has an excellent reputation as a top notch destination for upland birds. It has excellent populations of pheasant and quail due to the vast expanse of suitable prairie and grassland type habitat.
