Hunting at Bear Mountain Ranch –
Bear Mountain Ranch is home to hundreds of elk. The magic begins in late
spring when hundreds of elk migrate back to the calving grounds on Bear
Mountain Ranch. The sixteen square mile ranch, surrounded by national forests,
offers excellent habitat for mule deer, pronghorn, elk and an abundance of
other species of wildlife. With free range hunting strictly limited, the elk
herds are magnificent. The Private Hunting Area is home to impressive trophy
bulls and bison. Whether you seek the challenge of an open range stalk hunt or
the lifetime satisfaction of a Preserve ambush-style trophy hunt, Bear
Mountain Ranch is a unique destination.
 Bear
Mountain Ranch offers on of the most versatile hunts in Colorado. We
limit our free-range hunts to groups of six. Grizzly Cabin provides the
uniquely rustic gathering place for meals and camaraderie. Our cook
prepares three meals a day. Guides are provided, two hunters per guide (one-on-one is available for an
additional charge). Sleeping quarters are well-insulated and heated
cabins, two persons to a cabin, with table, chairs, benches, dresser and rugs.
A shower tent is available.

Gary, our guide worked very hard to make sure we had a safe and successful
hunt. We have requested him again for next year.

Bear Mountain Ranch Private
Hunting Area
While Bear Mountain Ranch is home to hundreds of elk, few (if any) found
in the wild are monster trophy bulls. If hunting a true monster trophy animal
is your dream, Bear Mountain Ranch offers an incredible experience. Hunting
from ground blinds near game trails, it is not uncommon for our hunters to
observe three to four trophy or monster trophy bulls in a single day.
You arrive at Bear Mountain Ranch
the day before your hunt and settle in at the Arapaho Lodge, which overlooks
our rugged Preserve. Our chef prepares and serves all meals in our
private dining room. As you relax on the upper deck overlooking the
Preserve, the echoes of massive bull elk bugling and locking horns is
exceptional. In the dense forest elk thrive in their natural habitat.
No license is required to hunt in the private hunting area.
Hunts in the private area can be physically demanding.
Pricing for Preserve Hunts is determined by SCI score of the bull, ranging 350
to over 450. Call the Bear Mountain Ranch Preserve home. (970)
