There is excellent mule deer hunting on our 1,300-acre private mountain property. You may see white tails, hybrids (a cross between mule deer and white tail), or even a timber buck (a timber buck is a buck whose antlers grow almost straight up). Your deer license is good for any of these.
Big bucks and does usually move to their feeding grounds or watering holes in the morning and evening. Our hunting acreage features several water holes and a spring fed creek.
Morning and evening is prime time for our guided hunts. Between hunts, hunters enjoy relaxing and other leisure activities.
This prime hunting area is at approximately 7,000 feet elevation.
We have a combination of attractive meadows and dark woods. The average rifle shot for deer is between 50 and 250 yards.
Every year our hunters take really nice animals. 5 x 5 and bigger are not unusual.
You may also find nice non-typical bucks or even timber bucks.
Deer hunting is limited to a total of 10 hunters for the 2007 rifle season.
We offer you a hunting experience, not just a kill. Every morning when we pick you up, we coordinate the hunting methods and hunting spots with you. Attention is paid to weather conditions and behaviour of animals. We cannot guarantee 100% success, but during the past years our success rate has been approximately 70 - 80 %.
We have found several arrowheads and spear points indicating that this has been a prime hunting area for hundreds of years.
We guide you but you make the decision whether the deer is the trophy that you are looking for.
Success includes your conditioning and shooting skill. You need at least a .24 caliber (6mm) or bigger rifle. We personally prefer the 300 WinMag.
You should practice shooting in all positions and should be comfortable with your gun and equipment.
Colorado has various restrictions and specific hunting regulations. Check the Colorado Division of Wildlife's web site at www.wildlife.state.co.us for details.
You will be hunting in an area designated and identified as number 85.
