This is a Ranching For Wildlife operation (RFW). In case you are not familiar with that program, these are all free-ranging animals (no high fences), but any RFW ranches must go thru an intensive management program supervised by the State of Colorado. The ranches actively and intensely manage all the ranch’s resources including forage, water, timber, the numbers of animals, and habitat improvements,- all done under the supervision of a trained biologist. In return, these ranches are given the right to set their own seasons and issue their own licenses under the supervision of the State. RFW ranches present some of the state’s premier hunting opportunities for elk and other species. Superb habitat and tightly controlled access result in exceptional success with very good quality and quantities of trophies.
AND NO DRAWS- JUST BUY THE HUNT AND GET YOUR LICENSE ON ARRIVAL! It also means you can rifle hunt in September and early October, during the bugle season/rut. Or you can hunt Mule Deer during the November rut. Or Antelope during the rut.Now this particular operation only offers RFW elk hunts in November and December.
Their earlier hunts are not RFW, but are conducted on a mixture of private and BLM lands where they are permitted. They hunt all clients in north-west Colorado, considered to be the area with the largest elk herds in the world! More elk here per square mile then anywhere in the world is the areas claim.
Lodging varies with the hunt booked, but range from a 2 bedroom high country lodge with living room and kitchen, to the lower country lodge with 3 recently built bunkhouse with running water, wet bars and beautiful pine interiors.
