About Lazy Triple Creek

A luxury 2,200-acre private ranch outside Jackson Hole that brings European-style driven pheasant shooting to the American West. Walk-up and driven upland for pheasant and chukar, a small number of trophy elk tags each fall, a 14-station sporting clays course, and a 9-bedroom lodge that goes to one party at a time.

One of the only Western ranches running European-style driven pheasant shoots. Limited trophy elk tags — herd bulls score 320 to 380 B&C with the occasional 400-class bull. Cast-and-blast trips combine upland with fly fishing in the Teton Valley. Private buy-out only, so corporate retreats and family gatherings get the entire property.

The Ranch

Lazy Triple Creek is a 2,200-acre private hunting and shooting ranch in the Teton Valley near Driggs, Idaho — about an hour from Jackson Hole. The property spans five dramatic plateaus, four sagebrush-lined timber-filled canyons, three creeks, and a wealth of native grasses. Over 500 acres of wheat and barley are harvested each year alongside dedicated food plots, providing feed and cover for upland birds and outstanding habitat for elk, moose, and deer.

The ranch is bordered on two sides by the Big Hole Mountain Range of the Caribou-Targhee National Forest, with minimal surrounding development. The Caribou-Targhee bordering means the elk that come for the cover crops we plant for upland birds tend to stay — historically low hunting pressure on the property has kept herds of up to 200 cows, calves, and bulls on-site through the season.

The Lodge

The lodge is built into a high plateau with views over forested canyons, rolling hills, native grasses, and big skies. The main room features log-beamed high ceilings, a stone fireplace, leather couches, and hand-woven textiles — a decidedly inviting Western feel.

Nine spacious bedrooms and twelve baths in the main lodge, plus three additional double bedrooms in the Creek House down the hill. A dedicated office space, loft entertainment area, billiard and game room, and two TV / movie viewing areas. A professional kitchen built to celebrity-chef standards, with the on-site private chef preparing all meals. Several large decks for outdoor dining, evening cocktails, or hosting events.

The lodge is private buy-out only — your party is the only group on the property during your stay. Unlike most hunting lodges and dude ranches, you won’t be sharing the dining room or the morning shooting line with other guests.

What People Say

Wow, what an experience! A friend asked me to join him in a visit for September bird shooting. Had never heard of the place. Incredible time. Definitely will go back. — David R., Ketchum, ID

Awesome walk-up upland bird hunt at Lazy Triple Creek Ranch! Having grown up hunting in Wyoming, Montana, and South Dakota, I can say this ranch is truly special. The lodge and grounds are in mint condition — clean, comfortable, and well-kept. We jumped a high volume of pheasant and chukars, with solid vegetation: corn and sorghum provided excellent cover. Worked directly with Steve and Matt, whose dogs were sharp and well-trained. Meals were top-notch — hearty, flavorful, and just what you want after a day in the field. Lazy Triple Creek Ranch is a gem. Looking forward to next year! — Cameron L., New York City, NY
