Welcome to Hogsback Ranch, a trophy whitetail deer hunting preserve and whitetail deer breeding facility. We are a family owned and operated Hunting Ranch located in North Central Wisconsin We specialize in large big bodied whitetails. The whitetail bucks you will see at Hogsback Ranch will range from 130” to well over 300” with body weights up to 350 lbs..
Our hunting preserve specializes in providing quality, trophy whitetail hunting opportunities with fully-guided, all-inclusive hunts on a wide variety of terrain. Modern lodging and amenities available. We take great pride in providing our customers with world class hunting opportunities in picturesque Northern Wisconsin.
These huge bucks are no accident. They are a creation of time, genetics, and proper management. Hogsback Ranch provides you with the best hunting experience through our dedication to genetic excellence and animal health.
Our family owned and operated ranch has been breeding quality whitetails since 2000. Hogsback Ranch’s breeding facility/program moved to its current location in April of 2005. In addition to preserve hunting opportunities, we offer does, fawns, breeder bucks and semen for sale throughout the deer breeding season.
Here at Hogsback, the bucks are looking incredible on our trail cams and we can not wait to see what’s in store for our hunters this fall and winter. Our 2018 hunting season was unforgettable! We were fortunate to take some really beautiful animals on the ranch. What these photos don’t tell is the adventure behind the hunt and the camaraderie that will last a lifetime. The memories of a magnificent hunt at Hogsback Ranch are truly unforgettable. Thank you to all the hunters who have chosen the Hogsback Ranch for their hunting destination and dream fulfillment!
A perfect pairing for your trophy whitetail hunt may be some high-flying bird action. Our hunters have truly enjoyed our outstanding duck and goose hunting during early season and well as migration hunts in layout blinds for giant Canadian Geese! The pheasant hunting and grouse hunting are also a fun combination to any deer hunt.
Our hunting preserve specializes in whitetail deer hunting, but we also have variety of other hunting opportunities available. You can also rent our lodge for a black bear or bobcat hunt or just to enjoy the trails of the Chequamegon National Forest.
Contact Hogsback for more information on the variety of outdoor experiences available for you and those you bring along to join you on your hunt.
