Our outfitting business is now expanding as we were granted additional land for our permits. We now cover the area east of the ranch to Meadow Lake and south to the edge of the White River National Forest.

We have been scouting this area during the 2011 seasons and look forward to a new drop camp in this area for 2012. Added to our two current drop camps plus the lodge and we have a great offer.

Talking Turkey...

For those intersted in spring turkey hunting, plan a trip to the mountains. Our flocks of Meriam turkeys are doing well and the hunts are fun. We have guided and non-guided hunts with both public and private land options. Call for details.

the Colorado Department of Wildlife 2012 hunting seasons are as follows:

• August 25th - September 23rd -- Archery
• September 8th - 11th -- Muzzle Loader
• October 13th - 17th -- 1st Rifle
• October 20th - 28th -- 2nd Rifle
• November 3rd - 11th -- 3rd Rifle
• November 14th - 18th -- 4th Rifle

Elk and mule deer require you to submit an application to draw tags for archery, muzzle loader, 1st and 4th rifle seasons. You can buy bull elk tags over the counter for 2nd and 3rd rifle seasons in GMU #33. You must apply for the draw by the first Tuesday in April.

The information on leftover tags will be available at the end of July. Phone orders for these tags begin in early August with on-line ordering available as well. Be sure to see if you can pick up that extra buck, doe, or cow tag!
