Miller Ranch offers some of the finest Columbian Blacktail deer hunting in Northern California. The Ranch has been in the family since 1936. Located in the heart of big buck country, east of Laytonville, California in Mendocino County. Miller Ranch harbors a healthy population of Blacktail deer. An outstanding percentage of those being mature bucks.

 

Miller Ranch consists of 1,000 acres of prime Blacktail habitat. Its rolling to steep hills are covered with a combination of oaks timber species and scrub brush, oaks and meadows. Add a couple of nutrient rich burn areas and plenty of water you have a combination that cannot be beat for producing trophy class Blacktails. What makes Miller ranch unique is that it operates under the California Department of Fish and Game's Private Lands Wildlife Management Program (PLM). This allows the Miller Ranch to work in conjunction with Fish and Game in managing its game populations and in return we are allowed to establish our own special hunting seasons within the boundaries of Miller Ranch. Secondly, in 1986 when planning Miller Ranch's management program, it was decided to limit all deer harvest to the use of archery equipment only! This gives the serious bow hunter an excellent opportunity to have a quality bow hunting experience during both early and late seasons without competition from rifle hunters.
