Eastern Colorado
Plains Deer Hunting
It's no secret
that the vast plains of Eastern Colorado have always been home to
trophy mule deer but with the recent explosion of whitetail deer,
it has also become the home of truly giant whitetail bucks. The
combination of large tracts of private land, limited tag availability,
and unlimited food sources make the eastern plains an ideal environment
for both mule deer and whitetails to grow old and sport very impressive
racks. We have approximately 21,000-plus prime, private acres on
the Republican River that have been managed for years for trophy
deer. These ranches have been hunted very responsibly and have consistently
produced both monster mule deer and whitetails. The country we hunt
is a combination of river bottom, cropland, CRP, and native prairie/pasture
land.
These are truly
trophy deer hunts that have been conducted with a 1-on-2 guide to
hunter ratio. Expect lots of glassing and walking in search of a
trophy buck. The mule deer bucks here are genetically prone to having
very wide racks with lots of points. They average 170"-180" with
190"-200" possible any day. Most of the "shooter" bucks will be
26"-28" wide with 30"+ bucks possible for the patient hunter. The
whitetails will average 135"-150" with 170"+ possible. While the
deer density per square mile in this country is not that of our
hunting areas in Northwest Colorado it does hold some extremely
big mature bucks. If you are a true trophy hunter looking for the
biggest whitetail or mule deer buck of your life, this is the hunt
for you! Lodging will be on the ranch in a very comfortable house
with all meals included.
Please contact
us for season dates and availability. We do draw a few landowner
vouchers each year. If you have Colorado Deer Preference Points,
this is a great opportunity to harvest a real wall-hanger!
Cost:
Whitetail Only $7,000
Mule Deer or Whitetail $7,000
Note: Non-resident
hunters should be able to draw a Whitetail license with no preference
points. The either-species (Mule Deer or Whitetail) license will
require 3 to 6 preference points, depending on whether the hunt
is in October or December.
Wounding
Policy:
If you wound an animal (draw blood), every attempt will be made
to recover the animal. If it is not recovered, then your hunt will
be over.
