The 13,000+ acre Witcher Ranch is as authentic as you can get, and it is a working cattle ranch to this day.
The Historic Santa Fe Trail
follows 8 miles of the Cimarron River that traverses the Ranch. The wide open spaces and remote location will provide you with the privacy, peace and serenity you've been longing for, and the actively-managed wildlife will make for an unparalleled hunting experience.
Whether you are seeking a world-class whitetail, unsurpassed upland hunting, turkeys, or predator , you can rest assured that your game will not be pressured.
We strictly limit the number of hunters to ensure spectacular conditions for the discriminating hunter.
At Santa Fe Trail Hunts we have no high fences and strive to ensure that your hunt will be done in the way that hunting is supposed to be. After your hunt you may feel free to kick back, relax, and enjoy some of our fine, outstanding cuisine, complete with top-notch service catered specifically to you, our guest!
Your complete satisfaction
and relaxation is our goal. Retreat from the hectic world, reacquaint yourself with nature, delve back into history... get yourself to Santa Fe Trail Hunts!
We look forward to serving you!
AMENITIES
At Santa Fe Trail Hunts we believe that relaxation is an integral part of your stay here. You won't find traffic, cell phones or clients to monopolize your time. What you will find is peace and quiet along with world-class service to make your stay as enjoyable as possible.
Besides hunting
you will have many options to choose from to fill your time. You can sharpen your skills at our trap range or rifle range, drive golf balls at our driving range, or you may want to wet a line at one of our stocked ponds.
The catfish are huge
and the bass are ferocious. We stock 5-15 steel head and cut throat trout every year.
Santa Fe Trail
You may want to take a lunch and saddle up for a relaxing ride along the Santa Fe Trail. Enjoy the game and see the wagon ruts where our ancestors traveled through Indian country. Have your picture taken with the Santa Fe Trail marker, placed there in the early 1900's, by The Daughters of the Revolution. You may even find an arrowhead on your trek.
Perhaps best of all,
you may just do nothing and relax, observe the wildlife and enjoy one of our beautiful sunsets with a beverage. A cognac and a cigar on the deck after a delicious meal is a wonderful way to top off the day. You may even want to ease those weary muscles and take a dip in our soothing hot tub. We are looking forward to helping you rest, relax and recharge at Santa Fe Trail Hunts.
Santa Fe Trail Hunts
is located at the 15,000+ acre Witcher Ranch in Baca County, Colorado. At our new 6,000 square foot lodge you will enjoy outstanding cuisine as well as unlimited beverages.
The luxurious lodge
at Santa Fe Trail Hunts will immediately make you feel at home. Even though the cathedral ceiling is breathtaking, the fireplace and hearth beckon you to have a seat and relax. After a delicious dinner you may want to adjourn to the deck and relive the day's activities.
What if I want to bring
my non-hunting wife or girlfriend? Will she be bored? Absolutely not. Your non-hunting roommate will have a myriad of activities to pursue while you are in the field. She may like to hike or ride the Santa Fe Trail. She can enjoy the wildlife, scenery and domestic animals found on the ranch.
She may want to fish in one of our stocked ponds. She could take one of our all-terrain carts and a lunch and meet you for lunch.
Maybe, your guest would like
to learn to shoot. We can arrange a lesson at our trap or rifle range. We can arrange a riding lesson with one of our staff. We will make your non-hunting guest's stay as entertaining as yours. An additional charge of 200.00 per day applies.
We look forward
to providing you an outstanding hunting experience along the Santa Fe Trail for many years to come. |
