Elevation ranges from 6240’ – 7900’. The elevation is the greatest on the north and slopes down to the south. Terrain is rolling to aggressive as it incorporates 7 separate drainages. Vegetation begins with rolling, irrigated meadow and quickly moves to a large section of pinion and juniper vistas up to a mix of heavily treed draws of oak and cottonwood. Because the ranch sits at the foot of Pinion Mesa the private ground is easily accessed yet its backdrop is deep, steep canyons on public lands.

Located in trophy hunting unit GMU 40, this is home to Colorado big bulls and controls thousands of acres of public lands virtually inaccessible to the general public.

According to Worldwide Trophy Adventures, “Elk Unit 40 in Colorado is every bit as good as the famed units that make up the Northwest corner. However, unlike Colorado’s Northwest corner, access to private land is the name of the game in Unit 40. [One] hunt has produced many bulls over 340 B&C inches, in fact, in years of good moisture, the average score across all hunts typically far exceeds this score.”
