    Ranching for Wildlife (RFW)

    This property is part of the Ranching for Wildlife program. The Ranching for Wildlife program ​provides Colorado residents a unique opportunity to hunt on private ranch land normally closed to the public. Participating ranches provide public hunting recreation access to their land free of charge to those who draw licenses.

    Through this program, hunters can play ​​an important role in helping CPW and landowners manage wildlife populations on private land. In addition to providing public hunting access to successful applicants, participating landowners are required to improve habitat on their ranch for both game and non-game animals. These efforts help preserve and enhance open spaces for wildlife to live and thrive and​​ keep the hunting heritage alive for you and future generations.
