Stoddard Ranch - 5 Day Deer Hunt

Stoddard Ranch is a DIY mule deer hunting property located north of La Grange, WY, just east of Hawk Springs reservoir. The stunning property lies atop a large bluff, providing views for miles in every direction. Located in area 15, or Region T as this is in a general area for some licenses in Wyoming, the property is roughly 2000 acres in size and offers ample opportunity to harvest mule deer. This property is part of a working cattle operation, so please be aware of that as you access this ranch. There are drivable two-tracks throughout the property that hunters may use to traverse the landscape. Absolutely no driving on anything other than those tracks will be permitted; any violators will be fined. Lodging for an additional cost may be available but is not provided in each booking. Please inquire with IO about lodging availability prior to booking.

Stoddard Ranch offers multiple types of terrain to hunt, and really only caters to one species of deer: mule deer. On this ranch you will find changing topography in small rolling hills and rocky outcroppings around the edges of the bluff. Sufficient cover is provided by tall grasses, as well as yuccas and those same rocky edges. Deer in this area tend to feed on the different circles located below the bluff and will migrate back towards the top to find cover and bedding. There is also a food source on the property itself in the form of a grass/alfalfa mixed crop used for hay for cattle. Deer will utilize this as well, but most times will be found feeding on neighboring properties that offer corn and wheat. Hunters can anticipate seeing deer in numbers here but are encouraged to only harvest a mature buck. Doe hunts will be offered as well as a 'meat hunt', so if you are interested in this and have or intend to have a type 6 tag, please reach out to Infinite Outdoors.
