WHAT TO EXPECT
HUNTING:
OUR HUNTS ARE CONDUCTED ON MANY PRIVATE RANCHES THROUGHOUT SOUTHERN COLORADO. WE LEASE AND HAVE PERMISSION TO HUNT APPROXIMATELY 30,000 ACRES OF PRIVATE LAND AND HAVE ACCESS TO NEARLY 70,000 ACRES OF PUBLIC. ON A TYPICAL DAY ONE OF OUR GUIDES WILL PICK YOU UP BEFORE DAYLIGHT AND PROCEED TO THE RANCH YOU WILL BE HUNTING. AT DAYLIGHT, DEPENDING ON ACTIVITY, WE MAY LISTEN FOR RUTTING BULLS OR BEGIN GLASSING FROM HIGH VISTAS. RANCHES VARY FROM FAIRLY MILD OPEN MEADOWS TO THICK OAK BRUSH HILLSIDES AND STEEPER DARK TIMBER STANDS. IT IS OUR GOAL TO FIND THE BIGGEST BULL POSSIBLE AND MAKE THE BEST PLAN TO BE SUCCESSFUL. AT SANDY HILLS WE STRIVE TO HARVEST MATURE BULLS IN THE 300" RANGE AND UP WITH THE POTENTIAL OF REACHING 350" OR MORE. BEING PHYSICALLY FIT TO WALK, KNEEL, AND SIT FOR MODERATE PERIODS IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. GET IN SHAPE! IF YOU HAVE SOMETHING PREVENTING YOU FROM ACCOMPLISHING ONE OR MORE OF THESE TASKS, GIVE US A CALL AND WE CAN DISCUSS YOUR OPTIONS. ADDITIONALLY, OUR CLIENTS ARE ALWAYS CURIOUS OF WHAT THEY CAN EXPECT FOR SHOT RANGES. IT'S DIFFICULT TO PREDICT AN UNKNOWN SITUATION, BUT WE PREFER TO MAINTAIN 10-60 YARD SHOTS WITH A BOW, UP TO 150 YARDS WITH A MUZZLELOADER, AND OUT TO 500 WITH RIFLES. WE CAN DISCUSS LONGER SHOT SITUATIONS IF YOU'RE COMFORTABLE, BUT TYPICALLY IT'S NOT NECESSARY.
our SERVICES:
hunts include a 1:1 or 2:1 hunter to guide ratio depending on how you book. our fully-guided hunts include meals and lodging, transportation while you are hunting, professional trophy photos, caping your trophy, packing out your animal, and making recommendations on game processors and taxidermists.
LICENSE process:
licenses for archery, second season, and third season rifle are over-the-counter. colorado USES A PREFERENCE POINT SYSTEM for allocating first rifle, muzzleloader, and late rifle licenses IN LIMITED UNITS. Each unit and season require a different number of preference points to draw a license. An applicant can apply for one preference point each year per species. early rifle, muzzleloader, and late rifle elk tags currently take 1 point to draw. however, individuals wishing to hunt with us on a given year that they do not possess a preference point commonly apply for a point and book an archery hunt. the following year, they will use their point to then draw a muzzleloader or desired rifle tag.

BOOKING process:
Due to an extremely high demand for our services, we are currently booking elk hunts a year in advance in most cases. we have an extremely high return rate with clients, so getting a spot can be challenging.
