Resort Valley Ranch - Mountain Lion

Resort Valley Ranch offers a challenging and rewarding opportunity to hunt mountain lions in GMU 461—a rugged, lightly pressured unit made up almost entirely of private land near Foxton, Colorado. Covering 3,600 acres of dense timber, rocky outcrops, and remote canyons, the property provides ideal habitat for lions and sees consistent activity throughout the winter season. The lion season in Colorado typically runs from late November through March, and hunters must complete a CPW-certified education course before purchasing a tag. Tactics like tracking with hounds, calling near fresh kill sites, or spot-and-stalk approaches all have potential on this terrain, especially for those willing to put in the effort. RVs are welcome on the property, and ATVs can be used on existing two-track roads—off-roading is prohibited except for game retrieval, and even then, it’s one path in and one path out. While the ranch has a solid road system, a few sections serve as community easements, so the occasional neighbor may pass through. With its rough country, low hunting pressure, and strong habitat, this ranch offers a true mountain lion hunting experience for those prepared to hunt hard and do it right.

This ranch is prime mountain lion country, made up of rugged draws, thick timber, aspen pockets, and rocky slopes tucked into GMU 461, one of Colorado’s most privately held and least pressured units. The mix of secluded cover, steep terrain, and a strong prey base makes this an ideal spot for lions to live and hunt year-round. The property supports healthy populations of elk, mule deer, and turkeys—offering mountain lions a steady food source and increasing the odds of consistent lion activity. North-facing slopes and isolated canyons provide perfect bedding and travel corridors, while the year-round water from creeks and springs keeps both predator and prey moving across the land. With so much of the surrounding unit locked in private ownership, lions here aren’t pushed around by heavy pressure, allowing them to maintain regular patterns. Whether you’re cutting tracks after a snow or calling into a remote basin, this is the kind of place where a serious hunter stands a real chance of punching a lion tag.
