Rocky Mountain Elk Ranch

This was a fantastic hunt.  With our guide "T", we had to search for several hours (in a four-wheeler) in 2,000 acres of rugged mountains.  When we finally spotted two elk, they spotted us and were leaving the area.  That's when "T" went into action, setting my wife up with a shot opportunity, and she made the shot.  "T" went to work setting up everything for pictures, cleaning the animal, and later skinning the elk for our trip to the butcher.  However, had we wished, they would transport the elk to the butcher for us.   Thank you, guys.  It was awesome.

Jeff and Alana were very hospitable and accommodating. The lodge was well suited for both genders and had all the comforts one would need. The elk were more than amazing and the guides were very experienced. A once in a lifetime memory for my family that might need to turn into a repeat experience. Couldn’t be more happy and everything that is on their website came to fruition. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a top notch hunting getaway!

They are one of the best. My husband is disabled and they provide the best hunting obedience. We are always satisfied. We have been twice and will go for the third time tomorrow so we are looking forward to a good time hunting and good communication with the people. They are already like friends, friendly and hospitable. 🤗👍

Hunting at the Rocky Mountain Elk Ranch has been a wonderful experience. We had our grandsons with us and they really enjoyed the experience. Jeff, Elana and family were totally committed to all of us having a great time. All phases of the hunt were organized and efficient and fun. I would recommend this hunt to all.

Great experience all around. Could not ask for better accommodations or hosts. The food and the guides were also excellent.

Mike Bonander: I have hunted 2 years in a row on your ranch. I had the best time and shot huge elk both years. My guide was fantastic I had the same one both years. The lodge and the hosts were top shelf. I highly recommend.

Absolutely the most amazing experience. True heaven on earth. The wildlife is abundant and location is beautiful. The guides are top notch and extremely knowledgeable. I have been to the ranch 7 times and have not yet seen it all! If you are looking for a true hunt or dream of a monster bull to fill the freezer and decorate your wall they will not disappoint! They even have a local taxidermist that will have your mount ready to take home with you! Although if you are like myself you won't ever want to leave! Ohhhh and the food! Yum! My kiddos beg for the famous elk tacos!

WOW!!! What an experience!!! From booking to picking up the finished product Jeff and his wife have an amazing team! I can’t even begin to describe with words what an amazing Ranch this is to hunt on. Not only is the ranch in amazing place but the entire experience from start to finish is truly amazing. I’ve been on several hunts, and nothing compares not even close. Thank you Rocky Mountain elk Ranch for the experience of a life time. Definitely will be going back someday

Jeff and his wife gave us a great experience all the way around. The accommodations were awesome from the food, lodging, friendly atmosphere and the great hunting. Also shout out to the guides.

This was an excellent hunt. The owners and their guides are a really great bunch! They will not disappoint. My buddy and I became friends with the two other hunters who also hunted during the week we were there. The ranch is amazing and the lodge feels like home. Great meals every night and being able to get a shoulder mount before you leave is amazing.

I'm getting a little "long in the tooth" and may not have a decade or more to wait to draw a public land elk tag in an area with both good opportunity and quality bulls. Rocky Mountain Elk Ranch provides an alternative. They take care of the logistics and heavy lifting so you can concentrate on finding a great bull elk in a beautiful setting. The guides will listen to what you want and how you want to find him, and not rush you into anything.

Rocky Mountain Elk Ranch is first class! Highly recommend! We got a bull of a lifetime and the crew was first class. Lodge is amazing, food is amazing, and views are amazing.

The Rocky Mountain Elk Ranch was an amazing experience. Jeff and Alana were so much fun to spend a few days with. Great lodge, excellent food, and superb hunting.

I accompanied my husband on his elk hunt this past week and this trip was 5 star from the moment we arrived! Jeff and Alana were wonderful hosts, no one has to tell you that this is so much more than just a business for them. We arrived on Sunday afternoon, and by the time we left Wednesday morning it felt as if they were longtime friends or family. The lodge is beautiful, very clean, the scenery is second to none, and the hospitality is next level. Alana cooks amazing meals 3 times a day, which are all delicious. The guides were great, the elk speak for themselves! They have a taxidermist who comes out to the lodge to handle everything for you, even offering 24 hour turnaround on your mounts so you can take your hunt home with you! His work is incredible. They also handle all of the meat part of it as well, and should you wish to take your meat with you vs shipping it, that too will be ready in 24 hours! We already booked another hunt to bring some family members back with us for October 2024! 10/10 recommend!

Best place to hunt!! Beautiful lodge, and gracious family atmosphere. Fantastic food and the guides are so fun to hunt with. They're taxidermist has mounts freshly completed each year that he can drop your antlers in the mount you choose, and you can take your trophy home with you the next day, along with your meat. It's the most complete package hunt I've ever seen. I can't think of a better place to spend a few days in the fall. They are booked way out though.I would recommend scheduling at least a year+ in advance.

Looking for a hunt of a lifetime Rocky Mountain Elk Ranch has the whole package! The experience was beyond our expectations from the guide Logan to the cook Alana, Henry's Fork Taxidermy, and Matt's Custom Butchering! All of these people played a huge part of the success in our trip! The memories of my son shooting his first bull elk and for all of us to be a part of it will be a memory in the record book! Thank you so much Jeff and Alana for your hospitality that was professional and warming. As our son stated at dinner, "Not once did we feel as a client, we felt like friends!" Our family, Scott, Bonnie, Justin and Danielle all thank you all for this trip of a life time! We will be back!!!!

From start to finish RMEL surpassed all of our expectations. Not only did we get trophy elk but the food, service and people were all amazing. Logan and Parker are expert guides that helped us land HUGE bulls. Alana’s food was amazing and the family and atmosphere was one we will never forget. 15/10 recommend it.

My husband and his friends just got back from this hunting ranch. He loved it and is already wanting to book the trip for next year. He's hooked.

We originally booked a family trip so I wanted nice accommodations, an area that has plenty to do, beautiful scenery, and an elk hunt that I could enjoy with my family on a time limit. This place provides all of that! The people: After meeting Jeff and Alana Lerwill you know that they are first class, hard working and genuinely nice people. The Elk: They go from huge to humongous. The Lodge: Beautiful place and is solar powered but has all the comforts. It is family friendly and has lots to do in the surrounding areas. The Ranch: High fenced and has two huge canyons with flats in between and on the side and sits at about 7000 ft. The hunt: It's a ranch style hunt with 100% guarantee. Still tough with a bow. Belly crawled through sage brush and hiked up and down canyons (by choice because they will bring you to areas on a Ranger if needed). I enjoy a challenge so I would recommend bringing a bow instead of a rifle. You could always use a rifle on the last day if needed.
