About Shelton Ranch Outfitters

Our Story

 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.
