Tammy McAllister, 20-year owner of the 10,000-acre Whiskey Trail Ranch in Ferry Basin that rents lodging and highlights its hiking, wildlife and photography opportunities. She said that her land was considered part of the CSKT Ferry Basin Elk Reserve and more than 600 head of elk are on the property and has spent $40,000 to put an elk fence on the property.

“One year we opened it up to tribal members to hunt,” she said, adding that they harvested 10 bulls and six cows. “But over the past two years, we backed off and only went with tribal members we knew — just for comfort.”
