Pheasant Hunting at its best
I have hunted at Gann Valley Ranch every year with a group since 2004 and have never been disapointed. It offers the best of everything at a great price. When I first started hunting there it cost only $245 per day. That is for everything! Lodging, all meals, guides, dogs, cleaning and freezing the birds, etc. They do it all! The price has drifted up to about $350 per day now but it is well below what other lodges charge...and sometimes for a lot less. I use to live in South Dakota before moving to Alaska and I come back every fall for pheasant hunting. You can't do better than Gann Valley Ranch. BTW, if you are not a member of Pheasants Forever...you should be!

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.
Oregon Hunting Information
Oregon is not known to be a trophy big game producing state. That said they do have good quantities of animals such as Elk.
New Mexico Hunting Information
New Mexico is one of the top destinations for trophy Elk and Antelope hunting. Draw odds can be tough depending on the unit but landowner tags are also available for those who don't draw. Mule Deer are plentiful but generally of average size. Only a couple of units and reservations consistently produce big muleys.
