Santa Fe Trail Ranch - Antelope Hunt

Santa Fe Trail Ranch is a DIY antelope hunting property planted in GMU 132, south of Lamar, Colorado. Coming in at just under 5,000 acres of private land, this ranch boasts ideal habitat for thriving pronghorn - see the Game and Habitat section for more information. Though the property is accessible by vehicle, driving is only permitted on existing roads or 2-tracks that traverse the ranch. Because it has been a drier year, fire risk is a large concern in this region of Colorado, so hunters will need to be more than mindful about where they drive, park, and idle in their vehicles. This is an operating cattle ranch and must be respected as such - this means leaving gates as you find them and being sure of your target before taking a shot. There are many hot fences on the property as well, so hunters beware! As this is a DIY hunt, hunters need to provide their own equipment and be prepared to pack out an animal to their vehicle. Please reach out to Infinite Outdoors if there are any questions about this specific hunt or property!

This property was put through a rest year in 2023 for management reasons and has benefited greatly from it. Southeastern Colorado is known for trophy antelope due to its habitat being conducive to growing big bucks. Santa Fe Trail Ranch caters to local pronghorn with fantastic terrain, and many sources of water. Between North Butte Creek and upwards of 9 different stock tanks, this private cattle ranch can hold antelope on site year-round. The habitat itself is a mixture of grassland and prairie, with a good amount of registered CRP land as well. Though relatively flat, there are still many topographical changes that hunters can utilize to stay hidden from their prey as they make their stalk. GMU 132 offers B list buck and doe licenses on private land only, and is also a part of Colorado's OTC archery unit list.
