Ranch Elk Hunts

UPGRADE: 355" Ranch Elk

​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 offerign you a opportuity to come to our preserve and have a classic bull elk hunt, with a guarateed shot opportunity at a bull elk.

My Ranch  elk hunts are NOT a trophy hunt, they are for raghorn bulls up to small 6x6 bulls that do not have the genetic potential to make it into our trophy hunting program. These bulls are three years old, mature bulls in great health, and will have small 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 accomodations, taxes, field care, and permits are provided, there is no hidden costs.

Our Ranch Elk hunts are offered August to December. At Silvertine we conduct our hunts on foot, spot and stalk and still hunting the dense forest environment of Silvertine. We also offer hunts in elevated box 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. 

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 Bandit and Trophy hunts are limited to bulls on the hunt property, and what Mother nature controls and grows. There will be many Bandit bulls on the ranch, and your guide will let you know what bulls are Bandit bulls, 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. But like I said, this is not a trophy hunt, and and any bulls over 300" will not be offered in this Ranch package, only raghorn bulls up to 5x5's and small 6x6's. You can see by the  photos on the sides of this page and below are some of the "Ranch Bulls" harvested from recent seasons, so you can see what to expect as far as quality and antler shapes, it truly varies. 

3) UPGRADE OPTION to 350":  We do not accept bookings for the UPGRADE Ranch Bull Elk Hunts, as I just don't know from year to year how many I will have if any. So if your here on a Ranch Elk hunt and we see a UPGRADE bull you are welcome to shoot it and pay the fee. 


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. 

2) The $3,950 base hunt fee applies to these hunts, and rifle hunters are still offered 100% GUARANTEED OPPORTUNITY! The Base Hunt Fee will be charged if the guide presents the hunter with a reasonable shot opportuity (200 yards or less) on an animal and they choose to pass, or miss the shot, the commitment to the  Guaranteed Opportuity will be considered fulfilled. If no opportunity is presented, for you to harvest a Ranch bull elk, then no fee will be charged and your hunt can be rescheduled for a later date or your money refunded in full.
