Great location, great food, great people. It’s all here for you at The High Lonesome Ranch.

Travis Pittman from Dallas, Texas, brought a corporate group out for a fall cast and blast. Here's what Travis had to say: "I was invited as a guest to The High Lonesome 5 years ago and have brought a group ofguys back with me every year since. This is one of the few trips that work and family commitments get scheduledaround as well as hits the calendar a year in advance. With my groups shooting skills ranging from "never shot a gunbefore" to those that consistently hit 20-25 on the skeet range there is something for everyone… in addition to thosethat want to throw a fly at the finicky, yet fat, abundance of trout on the property. They do a great job with the dogs andkeeping you on birds throughout the hunt, but I'd come for the food, hospitality and beauty of the ranch alone if theywould have me. I can assure you, you won't leave hungry and Aunt Linda's smoked pheasant quesadilla's and "everything made from scratch" cooking will leave an impression you won't soon forget."
