8000 ftThis is a DIY bear hunting property in GMU 461. Ragsdale Ranch is located near Pine Junction, Colorado, just off the North Fork of the South Platte River. This property caters to many types of game, including but not limited to, turkey, deer, elk, and the mighty black bear. Because of the abundant food sources, as well as several local sources of water, bears make a habit out of inhabiting this property. Ragsdale Ranch is just over 1,000 acres in size and caters to all types of hunters. Several two-tracks traverse throughout the property, making it easy to get from the bottom of the mountain to the top via vehicle, 4-wheeler, or even on foot. As this is a DIY hunt, hunters will be expected to provide all of their own equipment, as well as ensure they have the correct licensing required.
Ragsdale Ranch is a true treasure, comprised of beautiful mountainous terrain. This property offers up access to private land in a game management unit that barely has any public access (461); meaning this access is extremely coveted. Habitat on Ragsdale Ranch varies, from thick forested areas, rocky outcroppings, and open parks. This ranch is used for logging purposes during the summer, which creates open spaces perfect for catching movement throughout the day. Several local water sources such as springs, small water holes, and the South Platte River bring game of all types to this property, including bear. Black bears are the only species of bear found here, but several different color phased bears have been seen throughout the years. With multiple sources of food and water, good cover and denning locations, Ragsdale Ranch is an ideal habitat to support healthy bears.
5-day hunt. By booking the first day on the calendar, you are automatically booked for the following 4 as well.

If there is a lapse in availability, please do not be discouraged to reach out to IO. All calendars are set and managed by landowners, and unavailability is set by them. However, IO is willing to reach out on your behalf, to check on available dates. Other reasons for unavailable dates include biologist recommended hunter/harvest quotas that landowners implement, as well as state season dates not being released.
You are not legally allowed to access the property, for any adventure, prior to your selected access day. If you try to access the property at all before your selected date(s), without prior approval from IO, you will be subject to trespassing and punishments therein.
