Buck Mountain Ranch offers world class elk hunting and trophy mule
deer hunting as well. The ranch sits in the Murderer's Creek hunting
unit which is very well known in Oregon for producing record book
bulls and bucks. As a testament to it's quality, in 2009 a bull was killed
on Buck Mountain that grossed 380. One of the top 5 bulls of all time
killed in Oregon with a bow. There have been multiple bulls killed in
the 310 350 class, and even a few in the 350 plus range. The mule
deer opportunities are exceptional as well. You can plan on seeing lots
of bucks, and should be able to consistently harvest bucks in the 170
200 class. Try to find another ranch on the market in Oregon that can
run with that! In addition to elk and deer, there are also antelope,
black bear, mountain lion, bobcat, chukkars, grouse and turkey's on
the property.
