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.
