and
allows the ranch to set their own season dates.
This guarantees that you will be hunting during the most
spectacular part of the year. The terrain of the upper country is very
diverse; you could be hunting in sage brush and aspen
pockets in
the morning and black timber or oak brush ridges and deep rocky canyons in
the evening. Set with a backdrop of the Flat Tops Wilderness Area, our
knowledgeable guides will guarantee your experience will be second to none.
Imagine yourself in the heat of the rut, rifle in hand, hunting bugling
bulls in the most magnificent country in North America. With a harvest
rate near 100% in the upper country, Cross Mountain Adventures can make this
dream your reality.
The Lower Ranch
Cross
Mountain Ranch has spent the last decade improving its range management
program and irrigation systems in this area, which has caused a significant
increase in the number resident elk, deer and antelope on the ranch.
These hunts take place on high plateaus covered by cedar trees and sage
brush with deep draws and canyons for cover. There are also irrigated
alfalfa and grass hay meadows at the confluence or the Yampa and Little
Snake rivers, which provides a great opportunity for bigger bucks and bulls
to be seen. In addition to our general season hunts, we offer a
limited number of trophy bull elk and mule deer hunts in Colorado trophy
units 2 and 10 (inquire for availability and prices). If the thought
of a trophy class bull elk, mule deer buck or a mature antelope buck in your
cross-hairs excites you, then book your next hunt at the lower ranch.
