Walsh Ranch - Mule Deer

Walsh Ranch is located just outside of Meeker, Colorado and offers high quality mule deer hunting within GMU 211. Spanning over 600 acres, the property features classic northwest Colorado mule deer terrain with extensive sage, piñon, and juniper cover, along with reliable water sources that keep deer on the ranch throughout the season. Sitting around 6,000 feet in elevation and directly connected to roughly 5,000 acres of public land, the ranch provides excellent movement corridors and consistent daily deer activity. Mule deer are seen regularly, and patient hunters will find opportunities at mature bucks using both the private ground and adjacent public land.

Elk are also present and can be hunted during the same timeframe for an additional fee, giving hunters the option to pursue both species on a single adventure.

For second rifle season, a camp will be set up and available for attending parties, with a four person minimum preferred for that season. During fourth rifle season, a camp will not be provided, and hunters should contact Infinite Outdoors directly for details and logistics specific to that timeframe. All hunters must be active Infinite Outdoors members in order to legally access this property.

Walsh Ranch sits in the heart of premier mule deer habitat just west of Meeker, Colorado. From a biological standpoint, the property offers everything mule deer need to thrive. Productive agricultural fields nearby provide a consistent and dependable food source, while the ranch itself and the adjoining BLM ground offer secure bedding cover and travel corridors. Deer regularly move between feed and cover, creating predictable daily patterns, especially during low light hours. Rut activity typically begins to increase in September, with mature bucks becoming more visible as they cruise transition areas and edges before activity tapers into October. This combination of feed, cover, and adjacent public land makes Walsh Ranch a textbook example of high-quality mule deer habitat in northwest Colorado.

After your hunt, you will be sent an automated Harvest Report. To assist Infinite Outdoors in maintaining the quality of properties - and continue to put conservation at the forefront - we require that the harvest report be completely filled out and returned. Failure to fill out the harvest report within 2 weeks of the hunt taking place will result in a $25 fine. If you are unsuccessful in filling your tag, Infinite Outdoors still needs to have that information provided to them. This is how we will make changes to future year's harvest quotas and continue to be the most well managed access and conservation platform in the country.
