Southern Colorado Hunting

Southern Colorado Hunting Info

We take a maximum of 4-6 hunters in camp at one time. With several ranches to choose from, there will always be plenty of good places to hunt. These ranches have an abundance of game due to the limited number of hunters. Our professional guides have years of experience and are very courteous and knowledgeable. We are a family operation that strives hard to make each hunter's stay with us a memorable one. We have obtained exclusive hunting rights on some of the best trophy ranches that Southern Colorado has to offer. In the past five years, we have seen an increase in game numbers and size of animals harvested.

We consider all of our hunts to be truly a once in a life-time experience for all hunters. These hunts take place in Southern Colorado on our family owned ranch along with several other privately owned ranches. The terrain varies from high timbered mountains to open rolling hills, making these ranches very approachable. Our ranches hold high numbers of resident Elk with high bull to cow ratios. Combine this with years of experience & professional calling and you stand an excellent chance of taking a trophy bull. These hunts have produced around 90% shooting opportunities for the past 9 years.

South Central Colorado Elk

South Central Colorado Elk Info

This outfitter, another one that I have had the privilege of guiding with,  located south of Salida Colorado in the San Luis Valley has a little bit of everything to offer when it comes to elk hunting!  The most unique and one of the only opportunities to hunt free ranging bull elk during the summer months while the bulls are still sporting velvet covered racks is one of his specialties.  These are depredation hunts offered through the Colorado Parks and Wildlife unique licensing system, where they offer the landowners with agriculture crops on the valley floor a chance to recoup some of the money lost to crop damages caused by large herds of elk feeding on them during the summer months into fall.  Hunters can buy these vouchers off the landowners then have my outfitter guide them in their quest.  These hunts start early in July as the bulls have completed most of their growing by then and horns are beginning to calcify and harden up.

After the bulls turn hard horned, there are new unique opportunities to be able to hunt these same properties at the end of August and beginning of October while the rut is in full swing and bugles fill the air.  Both these hunting periods are very high success and some great looking bulls can be harvested.  Physically, they are the easiest elk hunts that I have to offer as the country is flat and most of the hunting is done from a vehicle, driving around until a herd is spotted and a stalk planned.

September finds this outfitter and his guides leading bowhunts out of wall tent style camps up in the mountains on public land on National Forest in areas where tags can simply be bought Over-The-Counter (OTC) without having to wait through years of applying for them or paying expensive prices to purchase landowner vouchers from landowners.  I call these hunts Elk Hunting 101 camps because it is where you will learn the most about how to hunt elk on your own on public ground if it's something you wish to continue in the future.  These hunts are priced to be the most economical and his area is a good one with some great bulls to be had, but it is a physically demanding type hunt that requires some training and working out months beforehand if a person wants the best chance at success.  It is one of the most rewarding hunts that I get to guide and have good success with hunters that come prepared, 300 inch plus type bulls definitely call the area home and are there for the taking.  Rifle hunts in October into November are also available. 1st season and 4th season hunts must still be applied for in April, but will be drawn on the first attempt with 0 points.  Second and third season tags can be purchased OTC.

Eastern Colorado Antelope

Eastern Colorado Antelope Information

The plains of Eastern Colorado are home to high populations of Pronghorn Antelope.These hunts are conducted on 17,000 acres of private property leased exclusively for you. Hunters can expect to harvest quality goats in the 72-80 inch B&C range with some occasionally breaking that 80 inch mark.

 During the rifle season, normally the first 10 days in October, we cover a lot of ground in a vehicle spotting and analyzing trophy quality with the aid of good quality optics. Once a goat to our liking is found, spot and stalk tactics are used to get within range for a shot. Shots can average from 250 yards on out to 400 yards so a flat shooting rifle with a high powered scope are a must. These hunts are by drawing only at this point and will require at least 1 preference point in order to draw, so make sure you start applying for preference points in Colorado now!

Archery hunts are primarily groundblind hunts over water holes from August 15th-Sept 20. In September we start to incorporate decoying along with spot and stalk tactics to target the rutting Pronghorn bucks, making for some very exciting action! All hunts are scheduled for 3 days and include food and lodging, license is separate and can be purchased online or over the counter for the archery hunters.

Hunt Colorado Bear

Hunt Colorado Bear Information

Our Colorado bear hunts are conducted using spot and stalk methods. It is no question that Colorado has one of the largest black bear populations in the lower 48 states. It is normal to see several bears during a week’s hunt. We use well selected glassing knobs and quality optics to locate your bear. We then put on a stalk and get as close as possible. Greatest success comes to hunters comfortable shooting up to 400 yards. This hunt can also be done with a bow where we pick high bear traffic areas and use calls to bring them in to shooting distance. Sitting over an active waterhole in early afternoon is also a very successful way to archery hunt them. It is recommended using a rifle for the highest chance of harvesting a large boar. In 2016 we took our first spot n stalk hunter and had opportunities on several bears before choosing the boar we harvested.

We offer these hunts in two different units as well as on a private ranch with guaranteed tags.
