Crystal Waters Paradise Hunting
Bed & Breakfast Hunting
Prepare yourself for an experience you’ll never forget. Your personal guide is a highly experienced cook and accomplished outdoorsman. Your destination overlooks a river and the Eagle Cap wilderness area with 120 acres of private solitude and beauty. With two springs and food abound, and the only clear cut region in the area from about 15 years ago, these proven feed and calving grounds for trophy elk, whitetail deer, and turkey offers some of the best hunting in the state.
The state record trophy elk died one mile from our property. It is not uncommon to have six or more shooters in a night when it’s hot during archery season. Cow elk season, any weapon, runs from August through end of year. Whitetail is around the rut in November, with some monsters that have racks wider than their body and reach to the heavens. We’ve got a few too many turkeys so we hope you come to help us out with enjoy the beauty and harvest of this natural wonder, along with a few drinks, and some amazing food.
