We Are the Premier Hunting and Fishing Club in California and Oregon
Deer, Wild Boar, Elk and Bear Hunting
Wilderness Unlimited is the premier hunting and fishing club in California and Oregon. W.U.Hunting Club is also the west's largest manager of deer, wild boar, elk and bear habitats, offering over 50 ranches and over 300,000 acres. Opportunities include blacktail and mule deer hunting in both Oregon and California, elk hunting in Oregon and wild boar hunting, bear hunting and antelope hunting. Included are special opportunities for archery only, and for handgun areas. In fact, W.U.Hunting Club has several properties that hunt archery only even during the €general€ rifle seasons.
Wilderness Unlimited entered the world of wild turkey hunting back in 1994. Prior to that season, staff felt W.U.hunting Club's lands did not contain a large enough turkey population to conduct a decent turkey hunting program. The resulting story is just one of W.U.'s highly regarded successes.
It is safe to say, when W.U.Hunting Club first started, there were few or possibly no turkeys on W.U. held lands. In the early 90's however, W.U. member field observations reported more and more turkey sightings. Based on those observations, for the '94 season, staff put together a limited turkey hunting program. W.U.'s planning included consulting with the California Department of Fish and Game (DFG), the National Wild Turkey Federation (NWTF) and Terry Knight, perhaps California's most experienced and knowledgeable turkey hunter.
The plan was set in a manner that only W.U. and its members are capable of doing. A pool of 50 turkey hunters were drawn at random and assigned to one of the seven ranches selected for the season. Following other W.U. education programs, Terry Knight led a €wild turkey hunting€ seminar for the €pool€ hunters and others, as well.
The turkey hunters went €knowledgably€ into the field in pursuit of turkeys. At the end of the season they reported back a wealth of data; number of birds heard, seen, shot at, harvested, etc. The groundwork was laid for W.U.'s Hunting Club to expand its turkey hunting program.
Today, W.U.'s turkey population has grown exponentially to over 30 ranches, including opportunities in Oregon. In fact, W.U.'s Hunting Club is known as one of the best turkey hunting programs in the West.
Educational programs include hunter safety instruction, deer, wild pig, elk and bear hunting techniques and game care and processing seminars. A Big Game Hunting Clinic has been taught to W.U.Hunting Club members since the club's inception. The clinic has expanded to a two-day affair covering virtually everything there is to know about deer, wild boar, elk and bear hunting. This clinic is now taught in partnership with the California Department of Fish and Game on W.U.Hunting Club property and is available to the public.
Wilderness Unlimited hunting club properties offer deer, wild pig and bear hunting opportunities in the key counties, including Humboldt, Mendocino, Trinity, Napa, Lake, Shasta, Monterey, Kern, Santa Clara, Fresno and San Benito counties.
Habitat enhancement programs, predator control, grain plantings and water development to name a few, are conducted on W.U.Hunting ranches under the guidance of the Wilderness Unlimited Foundation.
