Welcome to Nine Mile Guest Ranch!

We are pleased to announce that beginning in the fall of 2025, hunting at Nine Mile Ranch will be conducted by RTS Hunting, LLC. Travis Flaharty is the managing partner of RTS Hunting, LLC, and has been running that Ranching for Wildlife operation on the Visintainer Ranch in Moffat County since 2014. Before taking on RTS Hunting, Travis worked at Nine Mile alongside Rocky, the two of them doing everything from habitat work to roads, fences, building maintenance, and beyond. Travis first hunted at Nine Mile in 2000, then became part of the team in 2002. We’re certain that merging the two locations will be a smooth transition and that our long-time and new clients will be well served.

We truly appreciate and have enjoyed all our years of outfitting at Nine Mile Ranch. Thank you all. The friends we’ve made are for life, and the experiences have been memorable. Thank you also to our guides, who’ve been an integral part of the operation, adding to the camaraderie. What a ride it’s been! Thank you to everyone who’s been a part of it.
