Edenwood Ranch & Preserve

Edenwood Ranch operates a dedicated elk hunting preserve near Wautoma—one of Wisconsin's only options for this type of hunt. Unlike typical whitetail operations, elk hunting requires different tactics and preparation, which is why the ranch provides specialized guides and infrastructure built specifically for this experience.

Trophy Bull Elk Hunt runs 4 days and 3 nights. Average harvest size exceeds 300 pounds—significant game that demands skill and strategy. The ranch also offers a Trophy Rut Elk & Whitetail Combo Hunt that kicks off deer season and lets you pursue multiple species during peak activity.

Elk are 4-5 feet tall and upwards of 750 pounds. They're nomadic, less territorial than whitetail, and respond to environmental changes, weather, and food location.

The preserve has an on-site rifle range where you shoot at various distances before the hunt begins. This isn't optional—understanding how your gun performs at different ranges builds confidence and directly improves success rates.

Edenwood guides use proven methods:

• •Spot and Stalk: Locating elk before planning your approach (they're nomadic, not territorial)
• •Elk Calls & Bulging: Learning vocalizations like high-pitched bugles, chuckling, and barks—elk are highly vocal in early fall

Hunting packages include luxury cabin lodging, prepared meals, and guides who work one-on-one to maximize opportunities. The ranch handles the logistics so you focus on the hunt.

For hunters interested in whitetail and fallow deer, Edenwood specializes in those experiences as well.
