Big Game Hunting:
"We have hunted and traveled a good part
of the world with great experiences in Newfoundland, Canada
and Alaska - but nothing compares to our experience here at
Buffalo Creek Ranch. John and his people are the best ever!
Bar none. Great attitude and personal interest in everyone!
Sincerely, Roger, Roger, Tony and Tony (quoted by
2002 hunters/lifetime friends from NJ and their sons)

Big Game Hunters
Think of it: Twelve thousand PRIVATE acres in
a lush valley dramatically sheltered by the towering
Continental Divide and Buffalo Ridge harboring a large
resident elk herd year 'round. With elevations from 8,000 ft
to 10,500 ft, there is a varying terrain. Add to it, a
healthy resident population, the migrating herds from nearby
Rocky Mountain National Park and hunting pressure from
adjacent Routt National Forest and BLM land, you've got an
equation that equals to more elk streaming into this funnel
than our maximum of four hunters could ever hope for. Not
enough? Okay, we’ll add another nearby four thousand private
acre ranch. Nirvana.
Hearty
meals and professional, local guides are just a part of the
package. Accommodations are luxurious and the game is thick
with minimum hunting pressure. If you add up all those
elements, you have the best big game hunting in Colorado.

". . .fantasy hunting at Buffalo Creek. Every day of my hunt
had beautiful animals and exciting action. A breathtakingly
beautiful ranch. I'll be back!"
Guiding, transportation, lodging, meals, packing-out
