Hunting
The ranch is situated in a very desirable location for big game hunting. It is surrounded by the Gunnison National Forest on three sides, where healthy populations of elk, mule deer, and moose call home. This section of National Forest is designated as non-motorized, and the nearest public access point is several miles away.
The ranch boasts numerous attributes that give wildlife good reasons to call it their home, including a nice mix of aspen groves and dark timber interspersed with grassy meadows and ponds that are watered by numerous irrigation ditches that bisect the ranch. There are also several acres of food plots placed in strategic locations.
The ranch lies within Game Management Unit 521, which offers over-the-counter elk tags for second and third rifle seasons. It also qualifies for Colorado’s Land Owner Preference Program, which offers additional possibilities for mule deer tags.
Recreation
The ranch is very accessible and usable due to its gentle slope and a nice trail system throughout for hiking, horseback riding, mountain biking, ATV’ing, snowmobiling, or cross-country skiing. The fact that the ranch is surrounded by the National Forest on three sides greatly expands the scope of recreational opportunities available and makes the ranch feel much larger than its actual size. There are some nearby lakes and a nice stream that parallels the east boundary of the ranch.
