Park Range Ranches - Elk Hunting

Park Range Ranches offers a limited private-land elk hunt once a year at fourth rifle season (first week of November). When the snow covers the mountain meadows the 350-400 head elk herd bases here in our haylands, and the hunting is excellent.

We restrict this hunt to five hunters who are accommodated at Fort Boettcher, the owner's residence, in attractive, comfortable and well-insulated cabins with private baths. Jerry and Lance Towle, managers of our agricultural operations and twenty year residents of this ranch, know the game and their habits well and will act as your guides. Both are experienced gunbuilders and marksmen, as well as wildlife experts.

We offer the best in Southern hospitality, fine food and drink, warm fires and good fellowship.

If you get your elk early, you can stay through the week.

The cost is $5,000 per hunter, one half on reservation, the other half two weeks before arrival.

Out-of-state licenses are $250.25 over the counter, and are the hunter's responsibility. We will take care of having your elk hung, butchered, and shipped to you (within the continental U.S.).

We have one stipulation for this hunt: We ask you to arrive a couple of days before the hunt begins so we can help you sight in your rifle and get used to shooting at Western distances, so we can get used to your shooting style, and so you can get used to the altitude (8,300 feet) before we go into action. We like clean kills and we've found a little preparation goes a long way.

Join us for the hunt!
