UN-Guided Colorado Elk Hunting at The Headwaters Ranch

Colorado Private Land Elk Hunt…Unguided Private Land Hunting with Spectacular Lodging and access to thousands of acres of Public Land Hunting

Colorado Elk Hunting at The Headwaters Ranch:

NEW IN 2023 This hunt is no longer available

Back in 2017 we offered this hunting opportunity during the first and second rifle seasons and, due to overwhelming requests for additional hunting opportunities beyond our fully guided hunts, we will again be offering this unique opportunity for the fall of 2021.  This DIY hunt is for the adventurous and self-reliant outdoorsman seeking an unguided hunting experience with beautiful accommodations and access to both private and public land.  This is your opportunity to have a private ranch all to yourself in GMU 16.  You and your group will have the exclusive use of 3,000 acres of private land to hunt as well as access to adjacent public hunting land that places you miles ahead of the general public’s access points.  The idea of hunting is to get out and enjoy the mountains in solitude, with this large amount of private land, this private land elk hunt affords that opportunity.

The Ranch:  The property, known as the Headwaters Ranch, is approximately 3,000 acres in size and is located about 13 miles West of Walden, CO.  It lies in the shadows of the Continental Divide where the 3 streams (Raspberry, Norris, and Roaring Fork) that cross the ranch originate from.  The majority of the property is lush hay meadows (the preferred feeding areas for elk) and willow-covered river bottom/pasture land with roughly 100 acres of aspen and pine timber. 

Public Hunting Access:  The pine timbered, Western portion of the Ranch abuts the Routt National Forest affording thousands of acres of public hunting lands where other public hunters accessing this area have a long hike to get to the point where you can easily and readily access from our private ground.  Less than a mile from our border lies the Mount Zirkel Wilderness area.  Also, surrounded by the ranch on three sides, lies an additional 600+ acres of BLM land where few others have access to hunt.  This high elevation, timbered piece of ground provides a great bedding area for elk that travel from the National Forest and feed their way through our private hay meadows.

The Cabin:  This DIY Colorado elk hunt fulfills your dream of staying in a beautiful streamside cabin while hunting your own property right out the front door.  This remote cabin features all the modern comforts of home with 1 bedroom downstairs, an upstairs loft with 3 additional beds,  a full bath, a modern, fully equipped kitchen with open dining at the counter and dining table, a comfortable living room with leather furniture and a native stone hearth with wood burning stove, a fully covered back porch overlooking our private stream and waterfall, and a fully enclosed front porch that serves as a great mudroom to store your hunting gear and watch the wildlife feeding in our hay meadows.

2021 Seasons:  5 Day hunts during Archery, Muzzleloader, and each of the 4 Rifle Seasons

Pricing:  $5,500 for 1-2 hunters, $7,000 for 3 hunters, and $8,000 for 4 hunters.  Additional hunting days may be accommodated for an additional price.

Additional Info:  Elk licenses for archery season and the 2^nd and 3^rd rifle seasons are available over-the-counter.  Elk licenses for muzzleloader and the 1^st and 4^th rifle seasons are by drawing only.  The rifle season tags are fairly easy to draw without preference points, while the muzzleloader tags generally require a preference point.  Deer tags are by drawing only and generally take some preference points to draw.  For hunters booking an elk hunt, a landowner voucher enabling you to purchase a deer tag may be available for an additional fee…please inquire about availability.  Bear tags are readily available.

DIY Hunting Opportunity with Private and Public Land Hunting

Colorado Private Land Elk Hunt…DIY Hunting Opportunity with Private and Public Land Hunting Access including Luxurious Lodging

Colorado Elk Hunting at The Jack Creek Retreat:

Jack Creek Retreat

New for 2021, we will offer a unique DIY hunt for the adventurous and self-reliant outdoorsman seeking an unguided hunting experience with beautiful accommodations and access to private and public land.  This is your opportunity to have a private ranch all to yourself in GMU 171.  You and your group will have 250 acres of private land to hunt with direct access to adjacent public hunting land that places you miles ahead of the general public’s access points.  There will be no more rushing to beat other hunters to the trailhead.  The idea of hunting is to get out and enjoy the mountains in solitude; with the private land and proximity to public lands, this private land elk hunt affords that opportunity.

The Ranch:  The property, known as the Jack Creek Retreat, is 250 acres in size.  It lies in the shadows of the snow-capped mountains of Rocky Mountain National Park, where Jack Creek originates.  The majority of the property is willow-covered river bottom/pasture land with a few acres of timber.  Seven spring-fed ponds and a mile of Jack Creek provide excellent fly fishing opportunities for those seeking trophy trout.  This property is essentially the epicenter of Colorado’s moose population.  In fact, the original transplants of the Shiras Moose in Colorado happened in the late 70’s just a couple miles away, and was filmed for an episode of the Mutual of Omaha’s Wild Kingdom featuring Marlin Perkins.

Public Hunting Access:  The east side of the property abuts next to the Taylor Draw State Trust Land, which, in turn, lies adjacent to the Routt National Forest.  These lands are roadless, and the public hunters accessing these areas have a long hike to get to the point where you can quickly and readily access from our private ground.  The ranch also lies within proximity to several Wilderness Area.  Either take off on foot from your front door or take a quick drive to one of the many different trailheads…you have access to boundless hunting areas.

The Cabin:  This DIY Colorado elk hunt fulfills your dream of staying in a beautiful log cabin while hunting your own property right out your back door.  This remote cabin features all the modern comforts of home with 4 bedrooms, 2 full and 1 half bath, a modern, fully equipped kitchen with open dining at the counter and a beautiful dining table, comfortable living room with leather furniture and native stone hearth, a mudroom entrance in the back, and a fully covered front porch complete with rocking chairs where you can watch the alpenglow sunsets of the surrounding peaks.

Private Land Elk Hunt

Why should you hunt with Buffalo Creek Ranch, a private land hunting experience?

Animals, Animals, Animals….Our ranch is a natural haven for wildlife with resident herds of elk and deer year ‘round.  During the fall, many more animals migrate and are pressured onto the ranch from surrounding public land and provide additional hunting opportunities.

Limited Hunting Pressure….We only take 2 hunters per week during archery season and only 4-7 per week during the rifle seasons totaling less than 30 hunters per year.  Your group might have the entire ranch and staff to yourselves.

95% Success Rate….Some folks miss and some hold-out for large trophies, but most everyone has a legitimate shot at a bull or buck.  Remember, this is a fair-chase hunt…no high fences here!

Trophy Size Animals….The vast majority of the bulls we harvest are branch-antlered 5×5’s and 6×6’s.  Our area has excellent genetics and every year we’ll shoot a few bulls over 300”.  Limited harvesting allows some bulls and bucks the opportunity to grow older and get bigger.

Private Land….Most of Colorado’s public land is over-run with hunters dispersing the animals to areas with less pressure.  Our 20,000 private acres, coupled with intensive habitat management and very limited hunting pressure, provides a refuge for these animals and affords our guests the opportunity to hunt miles of prime terrain without seeing another hunter.

Professional Guides….We have been outfitting continuously for over 30 years!  Our guides have a combined total of more than 70 years of hunting experience and live on the ranch and in our area year ‘round.  We know the land we’re hunting and the animals we’re pursuing…it’s our home.

Hunting Options….We can provide any hunter, regardless of possible physical limitations, a safe and memorable hunt.  Still hunting, spot-and-stalk, and sitting on stand are all productive methods.  Elevated, heated, and comfortable shooting houses are provided as one option for pursuing your trophy.

Luxury Accommodations….Stay in our Western-themed, 6-bedroom lodge complete with private rooms, outdoor hot tub, satellite TV, and WIFI.  Three delicious, chef-prepared meals are served daily.

Trophy Preparation/Game Processing….We have an on-site skinning shed and meat processing room with walk-in cooler/freezer.  Your trophies will be caped, frozen, and prepped for taxidermy work while your meat will be processed on-site or at the local processor. 

Hunting Value….It’s a simple equation; we take fewer hunters and charge a little more.  Many of our hunters have been on other guided hunts and claim they saw more elk in one day at our ranch than they did during their entire hunt at a different camp.  As with most things; you get what you pay for.

The EXPERIENCE….Let’s face it: it’s the reason we hunt.  All our endeavors strive to provide you an exceptional and safe outdoor experience.

We cater to discriminating sportsmen seeking a high quality experience and strive to provide every detail possible to ensure this.  Even though we can boast an incredible success rate on harvesting bull elk, there’s certainly no high-fence here…the elk are free-ranging and the challenge of hunting is real.  While we can’t guarantee every hunter will harvest an animal, we do guarantee that every effort will be put forth to provide you a memorable outdoor experience—a Buffalo Creek Experience.

Private Land Fly Fishing Trip

June 2019

The Wapiti Lodge at the Buffalo Creek Ranch.

When looking for a unique and serene mountain fly fishing experience, the state of Colorado is often one of the first thoughts that come to peoples minds. With multiple fly fishing lodges across the state, the choice of picking the best one can be overwhelming. Here at the Buffalo Creek Ranch, we offer an experience unlike any other that you will find in the state. The difference you will see between our ranch and others in the state is one that will make your choice clear and easy. Read on to hear about The Buffalo Creek Difference.

We believe there are four key differences that make Buffalo Creek shine above all others:

1.) We are NOT a dude ranch

Gone are the days of massive dining halls, cookie cutter cabins, and unfamiliar employee faces. Although the Buffalo Creek Ranch includes a spacious 14,000 acres, it is important to us that we do not over use or abuse our precious land and resources. When you stay at the Buffalo Creek ranch, your party will be the only party on the entire ranch. You will not have to conform to a multi group schedule, or awake to ATV’s ripping around outside your bedroom window. Instead you’ll awake to the smell of bacon and a hearty home cooked breakfast, and decide with your small group when you would like to begin your activities for the day.

2.) Exclusive access

When you book a fly fishing trip at the Buffalo Creek Ranch, not only do you gain access to the five private lakes and two stretches of Buffalo Creek located on the ranch, but you also gain access to 7 more private lakes and over 90 miles of private river located around North Park and Walden, Colorado. Private stretches include the North Platte, Michigan, Illinois, Canadian, North Fork, Roaring Fork, Norris Creek, and many other tributary streams. We closely manage and protect these private fisheries to keep them in prime condition and prevent over-fishing, pressure, and harm being done to them. You can have confidence that no matter what time of year you book your stay, you will always have multiple exclusive fishing locations available to you and your group.

3.) Professional and private staff

The staff at Buffalo Creek Ranch are highly trained, experienced, and knowledgeable about the area and the operations. You will see the same friendly faces each day, making your stay feel truly authentic, special, and one-of-a-kind. You genuinely will be welcomed into a family setting, as the staff you will see live up here most, if not all, months of the year. You won’t be thrown around between multiple new guides each day who won’t remember your name once they drop you back off at the lodge.

4.) Comfortable and unique lodge with incredible meals

The Buffalo Creek Lodge (Wapiti Lodge) is a truly unique Colorado experience. With 3 stories and a maximum capacity of eight overnight guests, it is large enough to allow guests ample space to relax and spread out, but small enough to feel like home and give an intimate experience. Within the lodge you will see many mounted big game animals that have been harvest by the employees and/or previous hunting guests. The first floor is where guests tend to spend their evenings, gathered around the outdoor fire pit or in the hot tub, and of course around the kitchen table awaiting a meticulously and deliciously prepped meal by the private chef. The second floor offers an incredible living space with soaring windows, satellite television, a fire place and an informal kitchen/dining area. The third floor offers the final two of the bedrooms, a quiet escape from the gathering spaces on the first two floors.

Staying at the Buffalo Creek Ranch offers an experience and memories that will last a lifetime. We believe the choice is clear when it comes to picking a fly fishing lodge in Colorado. Be our guest at the Buffalo Creek Ranch and let us help you experience the Buffalo Creek Difference.

Bucket List Bull by Lee Gerhard

Bucket List Bull

Lee Gerhard
November, 2015

He materialized abruptly, statuesque, fully sky-lighted on the ridge behind us, posing as if for an insurance ad, antlers gleaming in the early morning sun, the herd of cows working their way around the knoll in front of him. He was café mocha from the tip of his nose to the front of his shoulders, antlers gray and ivory. Behind the shoulder his color abruptly tawny with a dark underbelly and buff butt. Six tines on each antler, the bull commanded his harem, the world and the moment.

The steep and rough knoll was dressed in fall wardrobe, sun-bleached rounded clumps of dusky sage rising from short tan grasses and small angular beige rocks covered by colorful lichens. No trees or shrubs obscured the magnificent animal.

I squirmed in the blind to get my rifle bore pointed in the right direction around Paul Schleppy, my guide, who was trying to get out of my way. I got the crosshairs on the bull just as he turned and squeezed the trigger. I saw him jump and then he was over the ridge and out of sight.

This was more than “just another hunt.” It was unfinished business.
The last words I heard from Mose were from his hospital bed. The old mountain man was my western outdoor mentor. He came out of Utah, a young fifteen-year old kid with an unhappy childhood. He cowboyed for his neighbors, drifted some up north, then through a winter in North Dakota. But unlike some today, he grew into himself, with solid values of right and wrong. Lean, almost spare, he moved through the west riding the rodeo circuit, hunting, fishing, and trapping. Once he got established I don’t think he ever strayed north of Colorado again. I found out later this mountain man was a very respected member of the business community, not just a cowpoke who could catch fish and shoot elk.

Gone are men like Mose. He said to me, voice hoarse from the ravages of his illness, “It looks like I’m at the end of the trail, young fella, and I know I’m gonna die. But you know, I’ve had a good life. I’ve hunted all I wanted, and caught a bunch of fish. Ain’t no one had a better go at it than I have.”

He ended with, “You’ll get that big bull elk, just wait. And it won’t be long. Maybe this year, maybe next.”

It’s been a lot of years since Mose died. And to top it off, added to the infirmities of old age, one little tick bite a few years ago has left me with stumbling feet and bad balance. Getting around in the woods and rocks is pretty dang difficult, in some places impossible. It was a guided hunt or nothing.

The Buffalo Creek Outfitters accepted me despite my handicap. We had fished there before, so my difficulties were not unknown to guides and management. In another run of luck, circumstances worked out that my two turkey and prairie chicken hunting companions, Steve and Bill, joined me on this hunt and no one else was booked. We three had the run of the ranch.

John Ziegman runs a tight outfit He manages not only the Buffalo Creek Ranch, but also three others. On those ranches he runs a full cow-calf operation, along with large scale commercial haying and some associated side businesses, such as logging pine-beetle-killed trees. Then there is the recreation business, fishing and hunting. Nestled against the rise of the Rabbit Ears Range on the west edge of North Park and hidden behind Buffalo Ridge, Buffalo Creek Ranch exemplifies non-bureaucratic wildlife management as it should be practiced and with great success. Where else do elk hunters have 90% success in fully wild animal hunts? And where else does a fly fisherman’s arms get tired from fighting wild trout? What other ranch has created its own elk sanctuary, where even its own hunters may not tread? And the fishing is all “catch and release?”

For me, the early morning stumble over the rocky slope to my blind was tough, but I am always excited to start a hunt. I only hoped that I would see a bull within range during the five days I had to hunt. This first morning was just a tantalizing edge of a never-to-be-forgotten hunt, I was sure. Paul helped me clamber up the gently inclined ladder and into a chair. “I could get used to this kind of hunt,” I said as I settled in. There was wind, it was not warm up here at over 9000 feet, but the blind blocked the wind. I wore warm boots, but they made no difference really, since my feet and ankles are mostly impervious to cold owing to the tick bite.

As the dawn grayed then slightly brightened, my view from the saddle in Buffalo
Ridge faced southeast directly where the sun would rise. The ridge steepened upwards into pinions and firs interspersed with sightings of rimrock boulders. Behind me was a treeless ridge, steeply rising from behind the blind, capped by a layer of beige rock. To the east I could see into North Park and the faint outline of the crest of Rocky Mountain National Park. To the west was the valley in which most of the Buffalo Creek Ranch resides.

My old eyes are no match for younger eyes. I saw nothing moving, but Paul identified several cows, then two bull elk near the top of the ridge in front of us. As the glaring sun rose I had difficulty picking them out of the brush, but finally spotted two of the cows. I never did see the bulls. They were at least four hundred yards off (I used my brand-spanking new range finder to verify this), out of my comfortable shooting range.

But they made me happy. Seeing elk early on the first morning is a great sign that there really is real opportunity to tag an animal. I had five days, and if seeing elk early in the first morning was any indication, my hopes for that one shot seemed possible. One caveat, though. Here, if you shoot and hit an animal, that’s your only shot. If the elk gets away, you are done hunting. So you either get the animal or go home empty-handed. No do-overs.

A quiet whisper from Paul’s radio said that Steve had connected with a nice bull already, just after first shooting light. He bagged his over by Buffalo Peak, northwest of us by a couple of miles.

My stomach lurched. One down. Will I have a chance? Will Mose’s words haunt me or help me? Will I yank the trigger in excitement if I get a shot? Or will I quietly squeeze the trigger? I never know.

Less than an hour later, Paul nudged me to look behind the blind. A stream of cow elk moseyed around the ridge behind us in single file.

“Get ready!” Paul said.

I didn’t need to be reminded that the bull follows the cows, not leading, taking no risk. I waited, worked gradually towards position to fire. The cows sensed or saw some movement, then the bull appeared on the ridge.

My rifle jerked against my shoulder, but I don’t remember hearing it. It was less than a hundred yard shot, but steeply uphill. With this ammunition, Hornaday SST in .30-06, the bullet should strike four inches high at 100 yards. I held just under his brisket. I saw the elk jump up and forward.

It’s an interminable wait. Intellectually you know you have to wait so that if the animal is seriously wounded, it isn’t spooked to keep running. But there is no way to see over that ridge from the blind. One minute. Will I have an elk, or are we going to spend the rest of the day tracking? Two minutes. What if we can’t find it? My hunt would be over. Five minutes. I know I shot well. But was the shot good enough?

Finally Paul said, “Sit here, I’ll work my way up the ridge to take a peek.”

Ever so slowly he climbed up the rocky slope, quietly as possible. My hands seemed to tremble, but that must have been my imagination. When your guide doesn’t flat out say, “You got him,” it’s tense time. But a faint hope stirred in my head when three ravens flew in and circled over the ridge, but seeing Paul, moved on. But hope, yes. Maybe. I thought talked to Mose, confiding my unease to his memory.

Then I saw Paul bounding down the ridge and I knew. That bull had not gone but a few yards before toppling over. Cross one bull off that bucket list.

Funny thing, though, Mose, he was a six-pointer when I shot him, but he’s now a five by six. He fell hard enough to break off the top tines on one antler. But you don’t mind, do you? Well, I did it, Mose, just as you said I would. Just took me thirty years.

This may be my last elk hunt. I hope not. My bucket list gets shorter all the time. Some of the items on it might be better left unaccomplished. Sometimes the anticipation of joy to be found is greater than the actual joy when a wish become reality. Creating memories is by far more important than acquiring things.
