Hunting and Fishing

Meanders on Big Soap Creek offer fine fishing.

Our cabin is located in the heart of big game country.  It is located in Colorado Big Game Unit 54 and is adjacent to area 54, both of which offer exceptional mule deer and elk hunting.  There is also some grouse hunting available for those times when you'd rather get a bird or two for the pot.  The cabin itself sits on forty acres of private valley land which offers some hunting opportunities, but the true draw of Crazy Horse Ranch for hunting purposes is the access it offers to the West Elk Wilderness.  While based at our cabin your starting point will be miles from the nearest easy road access to the wilderness boundary, meaning you will not have to compete with road hunters for access to game.  We have a variety of packages available for accommodations during hunting season, some including the use of a horse to make transporting yourself and your kill much easier.  Please check out our rates for these packages or contact us for more information on these packages and for more information on the fine hunting you can experience from Crazy Horse Ranch.

During the summer and fall, you can enjoy excellent trout fishing while based from our cabin.  Big Soap Creek offers a classic small stream trout fishery for four species of trout, rainbow, brook, brown, and native Colorado cutthroat, with fly fishing using terrestrial and attractor dry flies the most productive method for most of the season.  Slightly farther away you can find good fishing in the one nearby alpine lake in the West Elk Wilderness, as well as Blue Mesa Reservoir and the Gunnison River.  For more information on the fishing, give us a call.
