HUNTING
The hunting that this ranch provides is second to none in the Powder River region. This property has been intentionally conserved, fenced, and planted with the benefit of wildlife in mind. Rarely will you see a ranch that provides such an ideal mix of cover, crops, water, and terrain! This ranch has never been over-hunted or over-grazed. The proof is in the pudding and this ranch is truly one of the finest recreational ranches in the area! The Powder River, which runs through the middle of the ranch, is the boundary between Wyoming Deer Units 26 (on the West), and 17 (on the East). Both of these are General units and residents can purchase tags over-the-counter. The river is also the dividing line between Wyoming Antelope Units 16 (on the West) and 17 (on the East). These are Type 1 tags but are fairly easy to draw on a regular basis. Finally, this ranch will provide the occasional opportunity at harvesting Elk with General Tags being available on the West side of the ranch and Type 1 tags on the East side for Antlered Elk. Additional hunting opportunities include both Fall and Spring Turkey seasons, Waterfowl, Pheasant, Dove, and various other small game. The bird hunting on this ranch is just as impressive as the big game hunting, so there is always a reason to keep your camo on! Finally, fishing in the Powder River can be very good for catfish, bass, and other warm-water species.
In addition to hunting and fishing, the Double Spear Bar Ranch provides plenty of other recreational opportunities, including Horseback Riding, ATV'ing, Camping, Hiking, Bird / Wildlife Viewing, Canoeing, and target shooting. Needless to say, the Double Spear Bar Ranch is the perfect place for any and all of your favorite outdoor activities!
