Big Game
This outfitter is located in Canon City, Colorado. You will be hunting the diverse country side of tall thick Ponderosa pines, Spruce trees and aspen groves. There is also breath taking rock cliffs, the beauty of open meadows all on 3000 acres.
If you are looking for an exciting Trophy Elk hunt, but you do not have the time for the endless hours of scouting, or your hunting environment just does not produce the size of elk you dream of hunting than look no further. Our beautiful surroundings make this border property hunt, a feeling of being out in the mountains. Okay, so you do not think that hunting elk that reside within a bordered piece of property is hunting. Guess that depends what hunting means to you. If it was not hunting then SCI (Safari Club International) would not recognize and have a scoring system for these types of hunts.
Safari Club International rates an estate hunt as fair chase if there is sufficient cover for the game to escape into when pursued--there is sufficient cover at here with all the tall ponderosa pines, spruce trees and aspen groves.
There isn't any one hunt that will appeal to everyone. The reason: hunters are individuals with their own unique perspective, agenda, budget and most importantly physical limitations.
We are not going to convince you this ranch hunt is the same as an elk hunt where the closest elk you may see during the hunt is over 500 yards away and two mountain ranges over from where you are or that you get to ride hours into your camp on a horse or mule. If that is what you want, then this hunt is not for you. HOWEVER, if that is not what you desire then this hunt is for you. This ranch hunt provides a more relaxed and laid back atmosphere for the discriminating hunter that has constraints which offer them an OPTION from chasing that elusive bull all over the side of a mountain for 7 to 10 days, with absolutely no guarantee.
When you hunt elk with us you will see the elk that you are there to harvest, be provided with that shot opportunity and be guaranteed the shot. As the hunter you will be afforded the opportunity to spot and stalk thru tall timbers and aspens, bugle them in during the rut still hunt over well-traveled trails or frequented water holes, or the option of back packing in on horseback and hunting from camp. You can make it as physically challenging or as easy as you want, not to mention that you can change the way you hunt during the hunt. Had enough of the spot and stalk, still hunt for a while in an elevated stand and then go back to spot and stalk, the choice if yours.
Hunt from August to December
You also have the freedom to book the hunt on your schedule, not that of the state in which you hunt. These ranch hunts start in August and end in December, we have hunted in January, thus providing the hunter the flexibility to hunt fall and winter. This is a great hunt for the family, those beginning their hunting careers, hunters with limited time and those that just cannot scale those imposing mountains at altitude.

Located in beautiful western Colorado, our ranch offers you a very unique opportunity. You will not only experience some of nature's most incredible scenery but you will be able to view our private herds of trophy elk, bison, fallow deer, Jacob sheep and mule deer up close and personal. These animals free range within our fenced ranch, which give you the opportunity to observe them in their natural habitat, a truly awe inspiring experience. The lodge faces east to a panoramic view of the West Elk Mountains. To the north is an undisturbed view of the fruitful North Fork Valley and Grand Mesa, the largest flat top mountain in the world. Our ranch borders the North Rim of the Black Canyon National Park, the narrowest, deepest canyon in North America. No Matter what season you come to visit there is plenty to see and do!
~Spring time brings new babies being born, beginning of elk antler growth and magnificent wild flowers
~ Summer time there is young baby elk running in the fields and the elk antlers are in velvet
~Fall is a great time because the elk will be bugling and the aspen trees will be a vibrant gold
~Winter is time for playing in the snow or just relaxing by the fireplace.
