Big Game Hunting Packages

Our hunting packages include access to our 12,000+ private acres, lodging, meals, guiding, meat processing, and transportation around the ranch. Guests are responsible for their licenses, shipping of meat, and any taxidermy work. Bull elk licenses are available “over-the-counter” for Colorado’s 2nd and 3rd rifle seasons and by drawing only for the 1st and 4th seasons. All mule deer, pronghorn, and moose licenses are by drawing only. Pre-planning of your hunting adventure is advised to ensure licenses and hunt availability, especially in future years as all seasons will likely become “draw only” and licenses (especially for non-residents) will be increasingly harder to obtain. It is advised to apply yearly for preference points to further increase your chances of obtaining a license when you are ready to hunt. We continually maintain a waiting list of hunters waiting to book a hunt after our existing clients have chosen their spots for subsequent years.

**Price of pronghorn hunt includes using our landowner voucher to obtain the buck license. Our area is managed for trophy antelope and it typically takes a hunter 15+ years of applying to obtain a license. We are usually able to draw a buck tag every three years, or so, through the Priority Landowner application process. This is a prime opportunity for a trophy pronghorn.
