Archery Hunts
Ryan WD      

Ryan Hendrix and his 2007 P & Y Buck

If you're a serious bowhunter, you know there's a big difference between quality archery hunts and an archery hunt run as a sideline by a rifle outfitter. You simply don't hunt the same way. We understand bowhunting because we hunt with a bow ourselves, all of our guides are bowhunters, and we have been providing quality bowhunting trips for over 30 years. All hunts in Colorado and New Mexico are on exclusive leased private ranches.

We keep our hunting groups small and limit the hunting pressure to ensure availability of quality animals. Many of our hunters have been with us for years and most of our first timers come by referral.
 


                                                                         

                                                                                              Colorado Eastern Plains Whitetail                                                         

Chances are when you think of trophy whitetails, you don't think of Colorado, but you should! The plains and riverbottoms in Eastern Colorado holds some mighty impressive whitetails, and it's been one of Colorado's best kept secrets.  We have been hunting and managing our private ranches since 1985 and the quality of bucks taken gets better every year.  Over the years our average buck has been near 140 P&Y and with our super genetics, management practices, and limited hunting pressure trophy bucks in the 170 P&Y and up class are a very real possibility. 

We are very excited and eager for the 2008 season as we again continue to add to our country, with additional excellent riverbottom and farmground.  With this much country to hunt we can be sure of hunting fresh stands and not putting too much pressure on our deer.  As always our ranches continue to produce Pope & Young bucks every year, with the shooting percentage near 100%.

We have several hunts to choose from; we take small groups each week to insure you of the best possible chance at a good buck. We book up fast on these hunts with many repeat clients.  We have seen some really good bucks roaming the rivers in the past few years and we need to take advantage of them.  All hunts are 5 Full days of hunting, with everything included (except your license) once you arrive at the ranch.

                                                                                              *Limited Openings for Rut Hunts*
Our Archery Elk and Deer hunts take place on ranches with different terrain and hunting methods.  We will once again be offering Archery Hunting on these ranches in 2008, with only limited hunting we will be able to assure our bowhunters the best chance to take a quality animal.  Our Packrat Camp is located in Western Colorado and hunting is on a mesa above the Black Canyon of the Gunnison.  We have seen a steady growth in the number and quality of the bulls.  We will also be hunting the P&Y class mule deer we have on the ranch.  They will be found in the short canyons and rims leading into the Black Canyon.

If you are a trophy elk hunter, you're familiar with  New Mexico's reputation for elk hunting. We lease several  private ranches in some of New Mexico traditional areas for big bulls. Our area's have limited hunting pressure and consistently produces 6x6 bulls. The archery hunting season is timed to hit the New Mexico rut and elk should be bugling. Our hunters see many different mature bulls, and most have shots at a quality animal. This is another of our most popular and successful hunts.  As always we run small camps with experienced bowhunting guides to insure a quality trip. This is easy country to hunt with large parks, rolling hills and short ridges that are ideal for bowhunting. All inclusive once you arrive at the ranch, license cost $550, no drawing needed, landowner permits included. (Add 5 % State Of New Mexico tax.)  All hunts are guided 2x1, however 1x1 is available.

Fair Chase Buffalo Hunts

The Pintada Ranch has a large herd of resident Bison. The ranch is NOT high fenced and the Bison are roaming free in the many canyons. This is a hunt! A few years ago we began offering hunts for the larger bullsh. To date all hunters have been successful in finding and harvesting mature bulls.  In 2008 we will again be offering the hunt to a limited number of hunters.  For More information.

The Eastern Plains of Colorado are famous for the trophy class Mule Deer and Whitetail, and the quality Antelope have been overlooked by the the bowhunter.  We are pleased to offer a hunt on these ranches for Antelope.  The size of the bucks here will impress any hunter.  The best news is there is no drawing or deadlines to get a hunt with your bow here!

The hot summer sun in August will help as we hunt from blinds at the water holes.  5 full days of hunting on private property, fully guided hunts with everything included.  All hunts in the Eastern Plains, this would make a great hunt to combine with a high country elk hunt. License cost $293.25.

Wyoming Deer and Antelope Hunt

The Lisco Ranch is offering a very limited number of hunters the opportunity to hunt both deer and antelope on their ranch.  The Lisco family will be offering all lodging, meals, and the sons do the guiding.  I will handle the booking for the ranch. This is a 5 day fully guided by the Lisvo family hunt.
Both deer and antelope licenses are on a drawing with a March 15th Deadline.  Because of the number of available licenses and the large amount of private property in the unit the draw has been 100% successful, with licenses left over, in the past.
