Rifle Elk HuntingHunting is conducted on over 18,000 acres of private land right in the middle of one of the largest elk herds in the world (the White River herd). The elevation varies from 6000' to nearly 8200' and the terrain includes sage, oak, serviceberry, aspen, cedar, and some agricultural "fields." The elk we hunt are typical northwest Colorado elk consisting mostly of 4- to 6-point bulls (legal bulls are 4 or more points on one side) scoring up to around 300" on the top end. Our elk aren't huge but the sheer numbers are staggering. Rifle elk hunting at Nine Mile is fabulous! It's not uncommon for some of our hunters to actually see elk in the hundreds here during the rifle season. Rifle hunters also experience nearly 100% shot opportunity. Along with a good herd of "seasonal elk" that live here during the late summer and early fall, we are also smack dab in the middle of one of the largest migration routes of elk in the country. For those hunters who are able to walk 1-3 miles a day and can shoot their rifles accurately out to 300 yards, opportunities abound. With ranches at several different locations ranging in elevation and terrain, we can assure you a good opportunity at the elk, no matter what mother nature throws our way. All rifle hunting is spot-and-stalk. We get around in 4-wheel-drive trucks, vehicles and on foot; no horses here at Nine Mile. If delicious elk meat is what you're after, we also have affordable cow elk hunts available after the last rifle bull elk hunting, with extremely high success rates. Hunts are 3 days and do not include lodging or meals. Bull elk licenses for first and fourth seasons are a draw in our hunting areas, but we typically experience 100% draw success. Second- and third-season bull licenses are sold over the counter. Wounding
