What You Get When You Stay at The HPDI

6 Day Stay

You will be provided with a cabin, room or bunk depending on the size of your group. Groups of six or twelve will get their own cabin, smaller groups may be bunked together with other groups. The ranch is off grid, we have solar lighting but there are no outlets in the cabins.

Bed linen and towels are provided, however if you are cold sleeper you may want to bring a sleeping bag if you are a late season hunter.

Five Days Of Hunting

The first day will be spent either in RV’s seminar or hanging out around the ranch. After that begins your hunt and it continues for five days. Check-out will be the morning of seventh day.

3 Meals Per Day

We provide three meals per day, two of which are home cooked (breakfast and supper) and we provide a variety of sack lunch options for you with snacks, fruits and juices. If you have any specific dietary needs please let us know.

Hunting Seminar

The seminar is included in the package however it is optional you may skip it if you want. To attend please arrive around 9:00 in the morning. Archers will learn elk calling and elk behavior specific to archery season, while riflemen will learn elk behavior specific to rifle season. Then seminar also touches on topics such as what to do if you get lost, how to prevent altitude sickness, and taking care of a harvest. After the seminar we will go over maps of the area and try point you in the right direction.

If you choose to not be a partaker of the seminar, you can check in at the ranch anytime on Friday.

What To Expect From a Hunt at The HPDI…

Rifle Hunting Itinerary
Archery Hunting Itinerary

You will come in one day before you start hunting so that you can get rested up and acclimated to the altitude. We encourage people to arrive about 9 AM so that you can pay your balance and get settled in your cabin.

RV can then begin his little talk 🙂 (There is no such thing as a little talk with RV ) about elk hunting. His livelihood has depended on hunting and hunters for most of his 70 years of life. In other words he has a lot of tricks up his sleeve and increasingly in recent years he has been more willing to pass those tricks on to willing learners. The seminar can take most of the day, depending on the cohesiveness of the group in coordinating their bathroom and smoking breaks, the amount of questions and their level of experience. My advice, get a cup of coffee, some of the homemade cookies, sit back and relax.

After the seminar’s completion you will have time to check your rifle or bow on our range and get your tags from town if you haven’t already. If there is any time left you can relax and enjoy our Colorado sunset and socialize in our game lodge.

Because we are a family run, family friendly environment, we do not allow drinking in the main game lodge and dining area but you are welcome to in your cabins and on the grounds.

We will serve food for two hours each meal, so don’t feel you are going to miss out. The restaurant will open half an hour before meal times. During Archery season we serve breakfast at 8am. And dinner will be served about an hour and a half after dark. For Rifle season breakfast will be served one hour before sunrise and dinner will also be served about an hour and a half after dark.

You will hunt for the next five days. Hopefully less than that! If you get your elk early in the hunt we have fishing poles and there are gold medal waters not far away. But if you’re not a fisherman, no worries there are lots of other things to do on the ranch. Check out is the morning of the seventh day.

We hope this will not simply be just another elk hunt but one of the most pleasantly memorable trips of your life.
