Sandhills Pronghorn Ranch is a 5,500+ acre property located in Colorado’s pronghorn Unit 101 north of Cope, Colorado, offering a true DIY antelope hunting opportunity in the rolling sandhills and open prairie of eastern Colorado. Lodging is not included and camping is not permitted on the property, with the nearest accommodations available in towns such as Akron, Yuma, or Wray, roughly 40 miles to the northeast. Colorado manages this unit under a very limited buck tag quota, with only 10 pronghorn buck tags issued statewide for this unit each year. Most hunters can typically draw a buck license with approximately 5–7 preference points, making it a competitive but attainable draw for those building points. Landowner vouchers may occasionally be available for an additional fee paid directly to the landowner, though they are expected to be rare since landowners themselves must often accumulate up to 17 preference points to draw tags in this unit. For hunters interested, archery pronghorn licenses in this unit are available over the counter, making early-season archery hunts an accessible option for those looking to experience the property without navigating the rifle draw system. The ranch features established two-track roads that provide access throughout much of the property; however, due to the sandy soils common to this region, 4WD vehicles are strongly recommended. All vehicle travel must remain on existing tracks, and off-road travel or creating new trails is strictly prohibited. There may be cattle present on the ranch during September, particularly during archery season. Their presence will not impact your ability to hunt, but hunters should be mindful when navigating the property, leave all gates as you found them, and always be certain of your target.

Colorado’s Unit 101 is known for producing solid mature pronghorn bucks, though it is not managed as a high-density unit. Mature bucks commonly fall in the mid-teens range, with occasional larger animals appearing each season, particularly on private ground where hunting pressure is limited. The landscape here is primarily pronghorn country, and the open prairie and sandhill terrain lend themselves well to traditional spot-and-stalk antelope hunting. The sandhill prairie transitions into areas of dryland agriculture and nearby irrigated crop circles, which help hold antelope in the area. These outside food sources provide consistent forage during late summer and early fall, often drawing pronghorn out of the native prairie to feed during morning and evening movement periods. The combination of native range, available water, and nearby agriculture supports a healthy antelope population within Unit 101. Water on the ranch is available through several stock tanks located across the property, which provide dependable water sources for wildlife in this dry prairie environment.

Reservation fees are due at the time of booking, and are non-refundable. 50% of the outdoorsman fee will process 2 weeks after the draw results in this state are posted. If you are unsuccessful in the draw, reach out to IO and the situation will be handled accordingly. The remaining 50% will process 1 month prior to the hunt.

For big game adventures, cancellations made prior to placing a deposit will be handled immediately with no penalty. If a cancellation is requested after a deposit has been placed, Infinite Outdoors will make every effort to reschedule the hunt for a different season or a future year. Refunds are not guaranteed once a deposit has been placed.

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
