Welcome to Yellow River Ranch

Yellow River Ranch is based in the beautiful bluffs of the Mississippi River near Harpers Ferry, Iowa.  Located in the heart of monster buck country, our property rests on over 300 acres in NE Iowa’s Allamakee County, ensuring an enormous amount of thick deer-holding acreage. This is our first year offering semi-guided hunts.

The topography of this ranch varies from rolling hardwood ridges to brushy creek bottoms, with over 400 apple trees and over 20 food plots including turnips, brassicas, rye, barley, corn, soybeans, and sorghum — all spread about the property to grow and hold big bucks. Numerous sanctuaries have been established in and around the property to protect and hold mature bucks.  There are also numerous water sources and over 25 bow hunting stand locations.

This property was laid out under the guidance of professional deer habitat specialists.  Then through careful logging and installation of 10 meticulously-prepared and planted food plots, they have created a trophy whitetail Mecca.

Big ridges, steep ravines, brushy points, ponds, strategic food plots and some open crop land create a magnet-like paradise for mature bucks.  The proof of this property’s holding power for these deer is evidenced by the numerous trail camera pictures and recent harvests.

If you want to shoot top-end bucks, you must hunt where they are and Yellow River Ranch is the place.  Contact us today to book your stay with us.
