This 200-acre private ranch sits just outside Rocky Ford, Colorado in GMU 125, stretching along roughly a mile of the Arkansas River. This is a DIY hunt - no blinds or stands are provided, but hunters are welcome and encouraged to bring their own for the 5-day hunt. There's no shortage of solid setups along the bottoms, and the natural cover does a lot of the work for you. This is a doe-only hunt; buck opportunities are listed separately on a different listing page. All access is on foot from a designated parking area - a short walk gets you onto the property. Tags for GMU 125 are limited quota draw tags, but they are generally easy to draw and shouldn't discourage anyone from applying. There are also several smaller public hunting areas within easy driving distance that can be worked into your trip for additional ground to cover.

The Arkansas River corridor in southeastern Colorado supports a healthy and growing whitetail population, with does making up the bulk of what hunters will encounter on this property. The river bottom habitat - tall cottonwoods, dense Russian olive thickets, and thick riparian brush - holds deer year-round, and the adjacent native grassland gives them reliable feeding ground within a tight home range. Buck-to-doe ratios in this stretch of the Arkansas run around 40 bucks per 100 does, meaning does are a consistent and frequent presence throughout the season. Colorado Parks and Wildlife has steadily expanded whitetail hunting opportunities along this corridor in response to a growing population, and this property sits in the middle of some of the best of it.
