Purgatoire Wildlife Ranch

Ranch headquarters is located about 23 miles south of La Junta on Hwy 109, then west about 13.5 miles to County Road 165.4, then about 7 miles further to ranch headquarters. Ranch tracts are located along the Purgatoire​ River and Carrizo Cree​​k.
Hunters should be aware that the density of deer on the eastern plains is much lower than they might find in mountainous areas of Colorado. However, herd composition is of very good quality with a greater proportion of deer herds made up of mature bucks. Hunters should expect that locating a good quality buck may entail hunting over large geographic areas in rugged canyon country. Likewise, doe hunting, while less rigorous, will still require good effort. Due to the lower densities of deer, license numbers are conservative even on very large ranches.
