Their lodging is an old homesteaded ranch house built from lodge pole pine trees which were hand hewed from the timbers in the surrounding wilderness. Although the exterior of the house is dressed in siding, the inside still bears the logs that were all formed by hand back in the day! The three bedroom lodge sleeps 7 comfortably, and is used for their smaller more quaint groups. When the weather gets bad, which it will in the later seasons, they have a washer and dryer so you can be as comfortable as possible out in the elements, 1 full bathroom with an awesome shower (an authentic 1800's outhouse available as well). There is a comfortable living room with Direct TV and high speed wireless internet, and a kitchen with all the cooking utilities needed to make sure you are well fed by their in camp cooks. There is also a private rustic cabin available for couples or clients wishing to have a bit more privacy, the cabin is located around 100 yards from the main lodge.
In the 1970's the first breeding pair of Moose were transplanted from Utah to this outfitter's ranch, so this is where the extremely successful conversation program started! They hosted the Colorado Governors Tag holder in 2017/2018, and they harvested two mature bulls one with a bow and one with a rifle.
GMU's (Game Management Units) 17/171: If you choose to book your Moose hunt with this outfitter, you will be hunting in units 17/171 located in historic Jackson County, CO. This region is comprised of over a million acres and is one of the best units in Colorado to harvest a giant bull. This remote wilderness area is surrounded by peaks from Medicine Bow Range, Never Summer Range and Park Range. The hunting terrain consists of open sagebrush, flat marshes surrounded by aspen, fir and pine forest, all reaching elevations above the tree line. With amazing views of the mountain ranges to the South, the Continental Divide to the Southeast and the rugged Buffalo Peaks to the West, this is a truly magical wilderness area!
With 7 Colorado ranches on private land, totaling over 55,000 acres, you will have a great opportunity at a nice moose on this hunt. They also hunt over 1,000 acres of BLM land, and hundreds of thousands of acres in the Routt National Forest, which reaches elevations of 10,000 feet. Tags in Colorado are extremely difficult to draw and with the increase in Moose populations in this region, there are some giant bulls that inhabit the area. Moose live in all the areas in the North Park Region, so they will hunt them from the valley floor up to the tree line in the surrounding mountain ranges.
It's normal to see up to 15 different bulls per day during the rut, this is an absolutely incredible hunt if you can draw the tag. They target mature bulls that will score in the 140" - 180" range, with width measurements in the 40 - 50" category. Both of their units have a high moose population, there is NOWHERE else in Colorado, the lower 48, or the Western US where you will see the number and size of bulls as you will in their units!
