More about us
Our company was established in 2010 and operates in 1 territory.
High Desert Ranch & Outfitting LLC is all family owned and operated since our establishment in 2010. Hunting with us means a complete adventure where you feel like part of our family as we enjoy the abundant wildlife and unreal scenery that Northwest Colorado is known for. We believe that when you pay to hunt private land, you need to feel like you are on private. Therefore, we carefully manage the number of hunters we take and implement adequate resting periods between hunts. We also run our own cattle on our land so we can effectively manage the habitat and ultimately leave abundant water, feed, and shelter for the wildlife. It is a year around labor of love that is invested into our ranches to make them some of the best western hunting destinations around. Come see for yourself why we enjoy such great opportunity and have so many return clients that turn into lifelong friends.About this hunt
Hunting elk in the magical September rut is one of the most exhilarating experiences one can have. Our ranch has perfect habitat to allow us to utilize different hunting styles to give you the experience you are after. If you want to sit on water, spot & stalk, or call, our guides will use their years of expertise to get you set up for success. All of our archery hunts are guided one on one to give you the same high success rate our hunters have always enjoyed. Calling and hunting elk is our passion and a skill we have developed from years of experience. Being able to share and teach our passion is one of the most rewarding things we do right after seeing your reactions when a bull comes screaming in and you make a perfect shot. You only get so many Septembers, stop dreaming about it and experience it for yourself!

Where you will hunt
Territory
We operate on 10,500 acres of private land free range, no high fences. We range from 6,800 to 8,400 feet in elevation making perfect habitat for elk, mule deer, and pronghorn antelope. The lower elevation consists of rolling grass and sage brush hills. As the elevation rises the cover gets much more dense with oak brush and aspen trees. We have abundant water resources throughout in the form of creek bottoms and ponds.
