The Purgatoire BSAP Ranch is located 30 miles southwest of La Junta, CO. It contains portions of both the Purgatoire and Chacuaco Canyons.
Most of the ranch’s bighorn sheep habitat consists of pinion/juniper Canyonlands along the Purgatoire and Chacuaco drainages.
Hunting areas may be accessed by ranch roads and a few county roads. Some roads are very rough and 4-wheel drive vehicles are needed for best access. As this is a guided hunt, transportation will be provided by the guides.
Guides will assist.
The Bighorn Sheep Access Program hunts at Purgatoire Ranch are all guided hunts. You must draw the proper BSAP license in order to hunt Bighorn on Purgatoire Ranch lands. The hunter will not be charged for guiding services.
Lodging will be provided by the guide.

Download the BrochureThis property is part of the Bighorn Sheep Access program. The Bighorn Sheep Access program provides Colorado residents a unique opportunity to hunt on private ranch land normally closed to the public.
Through this program, hunters can play an important role in assisting CPW and landowners in managing bighorn sheep populations on private lands.
