deer to feed at night. By daybreak, Chimney Rock Outfitters-guided
clients will often witness 200 head of elk still feeding in these meadows.Exclusive

private land with a
fair chase opportunity.Wildlife abundance
is well known in this area: large resident herds of elk, mule and whitetail
deer, moose and black bear. The yearly USFWP elk count in the drainages
each spring: presently more than 1000 head ranging in the area. The
elk numbers are increasing by 15-20% yearly.The range
terrain consists of numerous rolling to steep drainages: Strickland
Creek, West Pine Creek, Trail Creek and Bullis Creek all migrate to
the Paradise Valley floor.

A
high elevation on the ranch is approximately 7800 feet. The Reserve,
a high mountain plateau, offers a view of Livingston, the Bridger Mountains,
Crazy Mountains, Absarokee/Beartooth Mountains, and the Paradise Valley. "I
have seen over 500 head of elk in one herd on The Reserve during hunting
season," says Chimney Rock Outfitters owner Justin O'Hair.

Spring Creek
A world-renowned blue ribbon fly fishers haven, is located on the O'Hair ranch
in the heart of Paradise Valley. The spring creek, a voluminous year-round tributary,
bubbles to the surface and flows parallel to the Yellowstone River. The creek
and river-bottom, at approximately 4300 feet elevation, hosts an excellent whitetail
population.
