Located in Colorado’s renowned Game Management Unit 85known for producing quality elk and deer harveststhis area offers over-the-counter (OTC) elk tags for archery (residents only), 2nd rifle, and 3rd rifle seasons, making it an accessible and popular hunting destination. A defining feature of the ranch is the main ridgeline leading to Silver Mountain, the only prominent ridge for miles, acting as a natural funnel for wildlife. This creates exceptional hunting conditions and year-round wildlife encounters. Private access to thousands of acres of bordering BLM land offers endless opportunities for hunting, hiking, and backcountry recreation.
