Description
Rangely, Colorado Unit 11 Elk & Mule Deer Hunts
Private Land | All-Inclusive | Lodging & Meals Included
Northwest Colorado has long been known for producing big-bodied, mature mule deer - and Unit 11 near Rangely is right in the heart of it.
These are private land hunts on carefully managed ranches with limited pressure and a strong age class of bucks. The result is exactly what experienced mule deer hunters are looking for: consistent opportunities at quality deer, not just sightings.
It’s not uncommon to glass multiple bucks in a day, with many falling in the 160” - 190” class. These are real, huntable deer living in big country -sage flats, broken ridges, and high-desert terrain that naturally holds and grows mature bucks.
Your hunt is built around proven Western tactics. Expect long glassing sessions, strategic spot-and-stalk plays, and still hunting when conditions call for it. The guides here know how mule deer use this country throughout October and into the rut, and they adjust daily to stay on deer.
One of the biggest advantages of this hunt is access. Landowner vouchers are available, allowing you to skip the uncertainty of the draw and lock in your hunt with confidence.
These hunts run from October through mid-November, hitting some of the best windows of the season. Because only a limited number of bucks are harvested off each ranch, availability is tight and dates fill quickly.
When you’re out of the field, you’ll be staying in comfortable cabins or lodge accommodations with meals provided. It’s a straightforward, well-run camp built around hunters - good food, solid rest, and early mornings back at it.
Everything about this hunt is designed to give you a real chance at a mature mule deer, without the headaches of access, pressure, or logistics.
Whether you’re looking for your first Western buck or holding out for a high-quality deer, this is the kind of hunt that consistently produces.
