Elk Guide Service

What the Ranch Offers

A Group of Guides with a successful hunter.

Each hunter is assigned a guide from the guides available at the Ranch. These guides know the property and the elk’s habits —they follow them all year. In addition to the guides, the Ranch provides a number of "scouts" located around the property to help locate the animals. The guides and scouts all communicate through the Ranch’s radio net, so they are in constant touch to assist the hunters.

If you take an animal, the guides and scouts are available to help drag the animal out of the woods to the nearest two-track. There they load the elk and it is hauled to your vehicle.

Opportunity

A Beautiful Elk taken off of CCR.

Canada Creek Ranch has over 11,000 acres of forest available to the elk in Montmorency County. With a variety of oak ridges, aspen, pine and jack pine, Canada Creek attracts large numbers of elk each year. Because the landscape is varied, your hunt will remind you of the wild west. You will not believe you are hunting in the Midwest! Last winter it is estimated that 50 to 70 bulls were on the Ranch’s property during the December Elk season. All you need is the permit.

Hunter Incentives

CCR successfull hunter.

In order to encourage hunters to take elk from the Canada Creek Ranch, we offer a "free hunt." We do ask for a $200 deposit that will be returned to you on opening morning. In addition, we have a co-operative agreement with the Black River Ranch to share these great opportunities…that’s an additional 8,500 acres.

Accommodations

It takes alot of team work for a bull like this.

There are rooms available at the Ranch House and cabins for hunters who need some type of accommodations. The cabins are furnished and have cooking facilities but you must supply your own linens and clean it before you leave at a charge of $90.00 a night. Rooms will be made available at a charge of $70.00 per night. Also, we will make arrangements for you to shoot your weapon with our guides. This will be your last chance to insure your rifle is properly sighted in.

Arrangements

We will put the Elk right into your pickup.
