The emphasis of the wildlife program at Deseret Land and Livestock (DLL) is to maintain a diversity of wildlife species in balance with year-round forage resources.  Although emphasis is given to management of big game species, we attempt to consider all wildlife species in ranch management decisions.

Management goals are to maintain adult populations of 3,500 mule deer, 1,800 elk, 600 pronghorn, and 100 moose on the DLL summer range.

Big game populations are managed by removing 10 percent of the males annually, along with enough females to maintain herds at a desired size.  Our big game herds characteristically have high male to female ratios, with a high percentage of mature males. As a result, the ranch offers high quality hunting opportunities for both anterlered and anterlerless big game.
