What a year!!! Abundant rainfall has produced many long-tined bucks and large coveys of quail. Several bucks grossing over 160 B&C points were taken including the new ranch record typical gross scoring over 186 B&C. Quail hunters are enjoying lots of shooting while moving well over 20 coveys per group per day. Once again, what a year!!
The Pitchfork Ranch is 100% low-fenced with no protein feeders. All rifle trophy deer hunts are spot-and-stalk. This is a real hunting adventure. All quail and other game birds are 100% wild. No pen-raised critters here!!!!
