A Century of Heritage, A Lifetime of Hunts
Homesteaded by the Shelton Family in 1916 and welcoming hunters since 1980, our family-owned ranch spans over 5,000 acres of rugged Northwest Colorado terrain. Rolling juniper and scrub oak hills rise from 6,400 to 7,500 feet, interspersed with alfalfa valleys and sagebrush draws.
Situated 30 miles from Meeker, the ranch lies within game management units 11 and 211 and sits directly along the winter elk migration route. In addition to elk, our land is home to abundant mule deer, pronghorn antelope, black bear, and mountain lion — offering an unparalleled backcountry hunting experience guided by generations of stewardship.
Witness elk, mule deer, antelope, mountain lions, bobcats, and more in their natural Northwest Colorado habitat. Beyond hunting, enjoy sweeping views and the quiet beauty of the backcountry.
Relax by the ponds, observe the grazing cattle, or simply take in the stillness of the high-country landscape. Here, every moment is yours to enjoy.
Explore the charm of nearby towns like Maybell and Meeker, where Western heritage, local dining, and historic sites bring the Old West to life. Venture to Dinosaur National Monument for fossil beds, spot wild horses roaming the Sand Wash Basin, relax at the local hot springs, or cast a line in the Green or Yampa River.
