 *1993 SCI North American Professional Hunter of the Year
 he P Cross Bar Ranch is a family owned and operated cattle ranch, hunting and outfitting operation. We are third generation on the ranch and have been outfitting and guiding hunters for forty-five years at this location. We hunt the Powder River Basin, which is unique as the only area of any size in the West where trophy Mule Deer and trophy Pronghorn co-mingle and are hunted in the same immediate area.
Hunt Northeast Wyoming
Our ranch and hunting leases encompass over 200,000 acres in the beautiful, wildlife filled Powder River Breaks of Northeast Wyoming, 90% of which is private lands. We hunt from four wheel drive vehicles and spend much of our time glassing, as 80% of all trophy animals are overlooked by guides and hunters.
Mule Deer & Pronghorn
Our mule deer hunts take place in northeastern Wyoming on large private ranches. The terrain encompasses rolling grasslands and rough canyon areas with patches of native cedar. We leave the ranch headquarters early and glass the hunting area from a high vantage point. Big bucks are most easily spotted early in the morning as they leave their feeding areas to bed down for the day. Many of our mule deer qualify for the SCI record book. We hunt over 200,000 acres of private lands for pronghorn. We take many pronghorns over 14", with about 90% qualifying for the SCI record book. We provide single species hunts or combination hunts for mule deer and pronghorn. We can include American Bison with any other hunt for the additional cost.
Trophy American Bison
Our clients consider this the premiere Bison hunt in the west. The bulls are raised on a 55,000 acre ranch from a herd of 3,500 bison. These are the largest bodied bison we have seen and all trophies taken by our clients have scored in the top one third of the SCI record book. The bison range in large pastures with hills for cover. The bulls are spotted and stalked similar to our pronghorn hunts. We hunt bison October through January as the hides are prime at this time. We offer many additional hunting opportunities. An October hunt could be upgraded to include mule deer and/or pronghorn.
Alternate Weapon Hunts
We have great success with archery, blackpowder, and handguns. We have an early "archery only" season prior to the general season for mule deer and pronghorn. We hunt bison with all alternate weapons, including archery.
Fair Chase
All game is hunted by fair chase methods. We locate the game using spotting scopes and binoculars, then the game is stalked and we work hard to get the hunter only high percentage shots. We strongly discourage running shots. We obey all state and federal hunting regulations. All guides carry binoculars and spotting scopes and are excellent judges of trophies. You, the hunter make the final decision to shoot based upon what you are looking for and your guides judgement.
Summer Prairie Dog Hunts
We have prairie dog hunting May through September. We will be hunting a different ranch each day, with thousands of acres of good hunting. A guide will go with you to find the best ranch for the day. We provide transportation while hunting. This includes accommodations and meals for three days (four nights) at our main ranch headquarters.
After Your Hunt 
If you fill your tags early we will take you prairie dog hunting/coyote hunting or sightseeing in the immediate area. Also, in regards to meat and trophy care, we have an excellent taxidermist on site, and there is quality meat processing available locally.
Modern Ranch Facilities
We have modern ranch facilities for your comfort, plenty of good home cooked food and friendly Western hospitality. We welcome hunting and non hunting wives. This is an excellent hunt for youth on their first western hunt.
Airline Service
We have excellent airline service to Gillette through Denver. Our ranch is only 20 minutes from the local airport and we meet your flights. We have a local travel agent who can usually get the best airfare for you.

Marion and Mary are both master measurers for SCI. We will measure your trophy immediately and will enter it in the SCI record book at no additional cost to you. |
