J & D Outfitters has exclusive caretaker and hunting rights to over 10,000 acres of private ranch land located in the Cripple Creek and Victor area in GMU # 59. We offer elk, deer, and bear combination hunts on these ranches. We hunt archery, muzzleloader and 3 rifle seasons. Our Cripple Creek ranches continue to offer exceptional harvest opportunities on elk, mule deer and bear. We will continue to pursue additional ranches that will provide our clients excellent harvest opportunities on trophy quality animals. Our lodging in Cripple Creek is comfortable and equipped with heaters and indoor plumbing. Every morning your hunt will begin when you step out the front door of the cabin, which is located in the heart of the hunting area. For those who are successful early in their hunts, there are fishing, gambling, and historical sightseeing opportunities nearby.
Various hunting tactics used during all seasons consist of cow calls, bugling, spot and stalk, glassing and ground blind hunting. We base our tactics on the temperature, elk movements and amount of snowfall during your hunt. The limited amount of hunting pressure and harvest, along with proper wildlife management techniques, will allow you excellent harvest opportunities on trophy bull elk, deer and bear. These ranches offer ideal habitat for all species. The habitat ranges from large lush green meadows, nice long valleys with over 15 ponds, big stands of aspens, and many large patches of dark timber. The elevation on the ranch ranges from 8,400 to about 10,800 feet. Transportation used during your hunt consists of 4-wheel drive trucks and Polaris Rangers to get you to and from the specific hunting areas.
