Hickey Ranch

2020 Landowner of the Year - Green River Region

Landowners: The Hickey Family

Located in Lonetree, the Hickey Ranch has been in operation since 1874.  Through the generations of the family that have worked the ranch, they have always strived toward creating the most wildlife friendly landscape they can on their own deeded property and the public lands they lease.  Jack Hickey was the recipient of the Landowner of The Year Award in 2005.  In 2018, Jack  passed away at the age of 89 and left his life’s work to be carried on by his children and grandchildren.  The family has con-tinued to carry on Jack’s legacy of being a steward for the land and providing a home for wildlife on their property.          

The Hickey Family has property enrolled in Walk in Areas through the Access Yes program.  This program allows deer, elk, moose and antelope hunting opportunity on a section of their land surrounded by Bureau of Land Management Land and State land.  Whether it is hunters looking for a moose, elk, or Sandhill cranes, the Hickey family welcomes them as if they were family.  By al-lowing access through their property, a  large amount of public land is opened to hunters that would be difficult to access other-wise.  The amount of public access the Hickey Family allows is among the largest of any ranch in Wyoming.
