Ranch Elk Hunts

Hunting elk is one of North Americas most iconic western hunts, and hunting elk in public wild lands is getting harder and harder these days, and success rate is low, and you have to compete with numerous other hunters. So we are offering you an opportunity to come to our preserve and have a classic bull elk hunt, with a guaranteed shot opportunity at a bull elk.

My Ranch elk hunts are for bulls in the MANAGEMENT class and up to 399". We class our TROPHY BULLS as 400"and up. MANAGEMENT HUNTS are for bulls that are mature 5X5 or small 5X6 bulls. These bulls are harvested at a cheaper rate as they do not have the genetic potential to make it into our trophy hunting program.

All our RANCH ELK HUNT bulls are four years old and up, mature bulls in great health, and have racks similar to what someone would find in free range public land hunting.   

These Ranch bulls are born and raised on the expansive Silvertine Preserve, and will present our hunters with a enjoyable challenging hunt, exactly the same as our more expensive Trophy Hunts, but a fraction of the cost. Hunts will be FULLY GUIDED, and all meals and accommodations, taxes, field care, and permits are provided, there is no hidden costs.

Our Ranch Elk hunts are offered September to November. At Silvertine we conduct our hunts on foot, spot and stalk and still hunting the dense forest environment of Silvertine. OR, we can offer hunts in lrge elevated blinds over bait plots if customers wish to. Our blinds are comfortable, roomy, soundproof, heated, and allow the hunter to take their time and make a good shot. Common question I am asked is "How far will I shoot?, well it may be as close as 20 yards in the dense forest or up to 200 yards across an opening or from our shooting blind.

When you hunt with us you will experience the real deal. Bulls with harems of cows, satellite bulls jockeying for position during the breeding season, bulls of all ages. All our elk are born and raised on the Silvertine preserve and live and die here, offering the hunter a great hunting experience. This a REAL HUNT, and VERY Fair Chase! Even though these elk are "Fenced In", all of our hunters agree these elk are wild as any elk anywhere else, just that we can control the hunting pressure and harvest to allow the elk to grow to maturity, supplement them with feed and manage the genetic base for trophy quality. 

Now there is a few things you need to know about this package hunt

1) The Silvertine Preserve is 100% forested and 100% Fair Chase hunting, not free range, but fair chase, the elk will have the advantage.  The large Silvertine Preserve is ideal for rifle hunting. We conduct our elk hunts to put you in the optimum spot to fulfill your dream hunt!

2) My elk are born, raised, live, breed, and die on the preserve, so ALL my RANCH elk hunts are limited to bulls on the hunt property, and what Mother nature controls and grows. There will be many RANCH bulls on the ranch, and your guide will let you know what bulls RANCH bulls are, and if you decide to "hold off' for a bigger one, that's your call, and then the choice is yours if you want to harvest him.  You can see by the photos on the sides of this page and below are some of the "Ranch Bulls"  of all classes that are harvested from recent seasons, so you can see what to expect as far as quality and antler shapes, it truly varies. 

UNLIKE MOST RANCHES, ALL OUR ELK HUNTS ARE FULLY GUIDED FOR OPTIMUM SAFETY AND ANIMAL SELECTION. WE DO NOT OFFER ARCHERY HUNTS FOR OUR RANCH HUNTS, RIFLE ONLY.
