My private ground hunt areas for deer and elk are game units 21,22,31, and 10. These areas near Rifle, Colorado are known locally as the Pieance Basin. The area is surrounded by 1000 ft. cliffs and are covered with cedar, oak brush, aspen and some scattered pine.

The "camp" is a 2800 sq. ft. log lodge, with a modern kitchen, large bathroom, great room with wood stove and a sleeping cabin that will accommodate 20 people. We normally only hunt 6-8 people at a time, but will take larger groups if they are in one party. We try to keep our groups small to facilitate better service. Great hunt area for the self guided hunter.

The area is composed of many ridges, bluffs and canyons that are accessible by jeep, ATV, or horseback. Cedar, pinon pine and oak brush are the main cover. The head of the canyons have spruce and aspen trees that provide great bedding areas. Live water is not readily available here but that works to our advantage as it concentrates game coming to drink at the springs and water tanks. Especially the archery and muzzle-load hunters. We have permanent "tree" stands at these locations to hunt out of.
