Paradise Trophy Ranch

Paradise Trophy Ranch spans nearly two square miles of wooded rolling hills in northern Michigan's Gladwin County. The operation includes 1,000 acres of high-fenced hunting land, two fully stocked lakes, a trout stream, plus an additional 200 acres outside the fence for lodging and a whitetail deer breeding facility.

The ranch specializes in three trophy species:

• •Whitetail Deer - Bred for massive bodies and heavy, wide typical antlers
• •Red Stag - Pure New Zealand bloodlines maintained on-site
• •Elk - Trophy-sized bulls and cow elk (seasonal availability)

You'll also encounter bald eagles, turkeys, coyotes, and black bear while hunting.

All hunts are 3.5 days, 4 nights, all-inclusive. Professional guides accompany hunters throughout. Meals are home-cooked and hearty, lodging is comfortable and decorated. Fishing in the lakes and trout stream is included.

$2,000 non-refundable deposit required at booking. If you don't harvest an animal, your deposit applies to a future hunt. 3% surcharge for credit card payments.

The ranch maintains 11 elevated, insulated, and heated hunting blinds with commercial-grade windows. Over 8 miles of improved roads and 10 miles of UTV trails provide access throughout the property.

Paradise Trophy Ranch was founded in 1999 as Paradise Hunt Club by entrepreneur Michel Malik. In 2018, it was purchased by Michel Hall, David Hall, and Thomas Calkins and renamed Paradise Trophy Ranch. The current owners remain committed to maintaining a top-tier hunting experience.
