Hunt Information

We offer 5 day fully guided hunts for Mule Deer, Elk, and Antelope on private land in northwest Colorado.

The terrain varies between our properties, but is between 6,500 to 7,250 feet above sea level and includes cedars, junipers, river bottoms with cottonwoods, and alfafa fields.

Game Care

Once an animal is harvested, we will field dress and transport your animal to a local processing plant.

Meat processing

We suggest Brothers Custom Processing located in Craig. Their service is second to none and they offer a wide variety of sausages, jerky, and other wild game choices. As of 2006, Elk processing is $225, deer $125, and antelope $75. This is for butchering, and does not include sausage, jerky, etc. If you have questions, you can call them directly at (970) 824 3855.

Lodging

Lodging in Craig is at a premium during hunting seasons. If you wish to stay in a hotel, you will need to book at least 3 months before your trip. We can provide a list of local hotels upon request.

Transportation

Our guided hunts provide all hunting transportation during your hunt. Usually this is by 4 wheel drive vehicles and 4 wheelers.

Licenses

For 2008, the license costs are as follows:
Nonresident Deer (buck or doe): $315.00

In addition to the license, hunters ages 18 to 65 will need to purchase a habitat stamp. Hunters and anglers are required to purchase a Habitat Stamp when they purchase a hunting or fishing license. When purchased with a license, the cost is $5, and is required on the first two licenses purchased in a calendar year. Habitat stamps can be purchased anywhere Colorado hunting and fishing licenses are sold or online at the Colorado Division of Wildlife's website.

For the most up to date information on licenses and license costs, please see the Colorado Division of Wildlife website. Make sure you also read and understand the rules and regulations that are available on the site.

Equipment needs vary greatly depending on the time of year you are hunting and what you are hunting. We will gladly furnish a list of what is needed for your particular hunt upon request.

Reservations and cancellations

A 50% deposit is required to secure a hunt. Cancellations can be made prior to the start of the calendar year for your hunt, otherwise the deposit is non-refundable.
