With permits from the National Park and Forest Service, Dry Creek Ranch is able to offer great public land hunting opportunities. The areas that we target on public land are very secluded, we use years of experience, horses and the proper gear to navigate our way into the terrain most hunters don’t even consider. The preparation that goes into making our public land hunt’s successful starts by the guides spending countless nights sleeping under the stars in the backcountry during the summer watching the elk’s patterns and the antler development of the bulls. If you are looking for an experience of a lifetime in the wilderness this would be a good hunt to consider. For more information about our public hunts please visit the HUNTS tab.
We offer many different hunts including elk, deer, bear and antelope. On a 5 day, fully guided hunt, you have the option to choose what hunt best suits you. Options include day trips while staying at our lodge on the ranch with fresh cooked meals and hot showers, or, if seeking more adventure, riding miles into the mountains on horse back and staying at a camp. Either way, we give you a chance to experience breathtaking views and hunting some of the most sought after game.

While turkey hunting and elk hunting have some similarities in calling and habitat, there are significant differences, especially in how turkeys respond to movement and calling, making turkey hunting a more challenging and mentally demanding experience.
Your Merriam's turkey hunt of a lifetime may take place on either public or private land. With the abundance of turkeys available, you can expect plenty of action each day of your hunt. You can choose to hunt by sitting in one of our man-made blinds or by utilizing spot and stalk techniques. We will employ various calling methods, including yelping, clucking, purring, cackling, and more, to attract the birds. If you have experience with calling, you're welcome to call in your own bird.
The key to a successful turkey hunt is thorough scouting and a good understanding of the terrain. Our experienced guides know where the birds are roosting and their likely travel routes throughout the day. Prior to your arrival, we will spend a few days preparing and scouting for your Merriam turkey hunt, ensuring we set up close to the roost.
We provide lodging and meals as part of our package. Depending on the hunting location, accommodations may be either a room or a tent if we are in remote areas.
