HUNT: Colorado Antelope Hunting Ranches
CONSULTANT: Outdoors International
August, 2018
Archery hunting for pronghorn in a blind can be arduous, but the quantity of mule deer and antelope arriving to the watering hole does break the tedium. Being very selective allowed me to arrow a Pope and Young buck on the third evening of a three day hunt with 15 minutes left of shooting light.
An 80 inch buck was seen, but did not come to water and if I wanted to arrow a 60-65 inch “representative of the species” animal I could have tagged-out within four hours of arrival! Being very selective, I was the last to complete the 100% success for our group of about 10 rifle hunters and three bowhunters. Nobody can guarantee a trophy at every visit, but the sheer volume of antelope is impressive, and does offer a wide selection.
My outfitter provided a very comfortable camp environment with single and double “cabins” in a cluster with a central community room area where meals are served, libations enjoyed, and stories are exchanged.
Outdoors International was very knowledgeable about this hunt. My consultant and provided more information and clarity than the actual outfitter was able to communicate. The outfitter is a man of few words and freely admits he would prefer Outdoors International to field the calls, concerns, questions.

Our hunt was excellent.
We saw bucks every day along with all other sorts of wildlife. Mountain goats, bears, and foxes were common sights. Fishing and crabbing was special bonus. The food was excellent, the crew was amazing. Outdoors International did a great job of finding exactly what we were looking for.

What an amazing experience!
The hunting lodge was out of this world!, Rooms, food and the scenery were all A+. Our guide was exceptional and had us on Shiras moose all five days. We saw over 30 total with at least 10 bulls. They had a plan for everything including taxidermy and game processing.
