DECEMBER/JANUARY
COLORADO
ELK HUNT 90% SUCCESS
ONLY $4000
This 26,000-acre ranch located in northwestern Colorado is in the Ranching For Wildlife
program and is guaranteed 40 elk and mule deer tags, no draw. They
can set their own hunting dates and in 2009 they decided to change their
elk hunts to December and January, since more elk move onto the ranch
later in the year. Success was high with 40 hunters taking 37
bulls, including 15 that were either 5x6 or 6x6 bulls and the top bulls
reaching 300 inches. The average bull taken on this hunt is a 5x5
in the 240 to 270 class.
Deer numbers are very high and success is always near
100% with the average buck grossing in the mid-160’s and the best
pushing 180.
This is not a physical hunt and older guys will do well
here. Elevation is about 6500’ with sage and pinions, roly poly country
with plenty of roads for access. Accommodations are a 14 x 70 trailer
with a couple bedrooms, single beds and outhouse, nothing fancy but
adequate. 4-day hunt includes 2x1 guiding, lodging, meals and airport
pickup in Hayden. This is a good hunt for $4,000 with high success on
bulls and deer can be added for only $3,000. 2010 season was in
progress at press time.
